How Do Tailored Carrier Gas Mixtures Affect Catalytic Reactions?
Tailored carrier gas mixtures can affect catalytic reactions in several ways: 1. Temperature Control: Certain gases can absorb or release heat, helping to maintain an optimal reaction temperature. 2. Pressure Regulation: The mixture can be designed to achieve the desired partial pressures of reactants, thereby influencing reaction kinetics. 3. Reactant Concentration: By diluting or concentrating specific reactants, the carrier gas mixture can control reaction rates and selectivity. 4. Catalyst Longevity: The right gas mixture can minimize catalyst deactivation by avoiding the formation of undesired by-products or coke deposition.
