Several factors can lead to incorrect sizing in catalytic processes:
Poor Catalyst Preparation: Inadequate control over particle size during catalyst synthesis. Inaccurate Reactor Design: Mismatched reactor dimensions that do not align with the catalyst size. Improper Mixing: Inefficient mixing of reactants and catalysts can lead to uneven distribution of particle sizes. Wear and Tear: Degradation of catalysts over time can result in fragmentation and size reduction.
