What are Some Examples of Physical Berms in Catalytic Systems?
1. Porous Supports: These are materials with high surface areas, such as silica or alumina, that support the catalyst particles, providing a physical structure to enhance contact between reactants and the catalyst. 2. Membranes: Selective membranes can act as physical barriers to control the passage of specific molecules, thus enhancing selectivity in catalytic reactions. 3. Microreactors: In microreactor technology, small channels and chambers serve as physical berms to improve heat and mass transfer, leading to more controlled and efficient reactions.
