How Does Inefficient Mixing Affect Catalytic Reactions?
Inefficient mixing can have several detrimental effects on catalytic reactions:
Reduced Reaction Rate: Inadequate mixing can lead to lower reaction rates due to poor contact between reactants and the catalyst. Inconsistent Product Quality: Non-uniform mixing can result in uneven product distribution and quality. Increased Side Reactions: Poor mixing can lead to local concentrations of reactants that favor unwanted side reactions. Catalyst Deactivation: Hotspots or high local concentrations of reactants can deactivate the catalyst.
