Several strategies can be employed to enhance mass transfer in catalytic processes:
Increasing Turbulence: Enhances mixing and reduces boundary layers around the catalyst particles. Optimizing Particle Size: Smaller particles have a higher surface area to volume ratio, improving mass transfer rates. Employing High-Shear Reactors: These reactors create high shear forces that improve mass transfer. Using Porous Catalysts: Porous materials provide higher surface areas and multiple pathways for reactant diffusion. Enhancing Solubility: Increasing the solubility of reactants in the reaction medium can also improve mass transfer.
