How is Reactant Feed Introduced in Industrial Catalysis?
In industrial applications, the reactant feed is introduced using various methods, such as continuous flow reactors, batch reactors, or fixed-bed reactors. Continuous flow reactors allow for a steady supply of reactants and are suitable for large-scale production. Batch reactors are used for smaller-scale processes or when the reaction needs to be carefully controlled. In fixed-bed reactors, the reactant feed passes through a packed bed of catalyst particles, ensuring efficient contact.
