Advanced reactor designs that have shown promise in catalytic applications include:
Microreactors: These reactors have small dimensions that allow for precise control over reaction conditions and enhanced heat and mass transfer. Monolith Reactors: Featuring a structured catalyst support, these reactors provide a high surface area for catalytic reactions and efficient flow dynamics. Fluidized Bed Reactors: In these reactors, the catalyst particles are suspended in the reactant flow, allowing for excellent mixing and heat transfer. Membrane Reactors: Combining reaction and separation processes, membrane reactors can enhance selectivity and conversion by removing products as they form.
