How do reaction conditions affect catalyst design?
Catalyst design must consider the operating conditions under which the reaction will occur:
1. Temperature and Pressure: Catalysts must be stable and active under the expected temperature and pressure conditions. 2. Reactant Concentration: High concentrations may require catalysts with higher stability to prevent deactivation. 3. pH and Solvent: In liquid-phase reactions, the catalyst must be stable in the solvent and at the reaction pH.
