How Does Heat Removal Impact Catalyst Performance?
1. Activity and Selectivity: Proper heat management ensures that the reaction occurs at the desired temperature, maintaining the [catalyst activity]() and selectivity.
2. Longevity: Overheating can lead to sintering or poisoning of the catalyst, thus effective heat removal can prolong the [catalyst life]().
3. Safety: Uncontrolled exothermic reactions can lead to thermal runaways and pose significant safety risks. Effective heat removal is essential for safe operation.
