What Are Optimal Conditions for Different Catalytic Processes?
Optimal conditions vary depending on the specific catalytic process and the nature of the catalyst. For example: - In the Haber-Bosch process, high pressure (150-300 atm) and moderate temperature (400-500°C) are optimal. - In steam reforming of methane, a high temperature (700-1100°C) and moderate pressure (15-25 atm) are required. - Hydrocracking processes in petroleum refining often operate at high pressures (70-200 atm) and temperatures (350-450°C).
