What Are Some Examples of Inefficient Mixing in Catalysis?
Inefficient mixing is observed in various catalytic processes:
Fixed-Bed Reactors: Poor distribution of reactants across the catalyst bed can lead to channeling and inefficient reactions. Slurry Reactors: Inadequate mixing can result in poor contact between the catalyst particles and reactants. Gas-Liquid Reactions: Inefficient mixing can hinder mass transfer between phases, affecting reaction rates.
