How is Stoichiometry Measured and Controlled in Catalytic Processes?
Stoichiometry in catalytic processes can be measured and controlled through various methods:
Reaction Monitoring: Techniques such as gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, and infrared spectroscopy are used to monitor the concentration of reactants and products in real-time. Feed Ratio Control: In industrial processes, the feed ratios of reactants are carefully controlled using flow meters and automated systems to ensure optimal stoichiometry. Kinetic Modeling: Mathematical models are used to predict the stoichiometric requirements and optimize the reaction conditions based on the kinetics of the catalytic process.
