Optimizing the feed rate involves a balance between maximizing conversion and minimizing catalyst deactivation. The following steps can help achieve this balance:
Conduct Kinetic Studies: Perform detailed kinetic studies to understand the reaction mechanism and rate-limiting steps. Utilize Computational Models: Employ computational models and simulations to predict the optimal feed rate under various conditions. Experimental Validation: Validate the predicted feed rates through experimental trials to ensure consistency and reliability. Monitor Catalyst Performance: Continuously monitor the catalyst’s performance and adjust the feed rate as necessary to maintain optimal conditions.
