How Does Pressure Influence VLE in Catalytic Reactions?
Pressure is another critical factor in VLE. Higher pressures typically increase the solubility of gases in the liquid phase, potentially enhancing the reaction rates in liquid-phase catalytic systems. In gas-phase catalysis, however, increased pressure can lead to higher concentrations of reactants, thereby increasing the reaction rate. The interplay between pressure and VLE must be carefully managed to optimize catalytic performance.
