What Are Common Applications of Perforated Plates in Catalysis?
Perforated plates find applications in several catalytic processes, including:
Fixed-bed reactors, where they support the catalyst and ensure even flow distribution. Fluidized-bed reactors, where they help in maintaining the fluidization of the catalyst particles. Photocatalytic systems, where they provide a substrate for photocatalysts, enhancing light absorption and reaction rates. Electrocatalysis, where they serve as electrodes or supports for electrochemical reactions.
