How Do Catalysts Interact with Distillation Towers?
Catalysts are typically incorporated into the distillation tower in various ways: - Fixed Beds: Catalysts are packed into specific sections of the column, allowing the liquid mixture to pass through and react. - Fluidized Beds: Fine catalyst particles are suspended in the liquid mixture, providing a large surface area for reactions. - Coatings: Catalysts can be coated onto the internal surfaces of the column to facilitate reactions as the mixture ascends.
