What are Some Techniques to Improve Mass Transfer?
There are multiple ways to improve mass transfer in catalytic systems: - Using High-Surface-Area Catalysts: Catalysts with high surface areas, such as mesoporous materials or nanoparticles, provide more active sites and enhance diffusion. - Optimizing Reactor Design: Implementing flow reactors or packed bed reactors can enhance convection and improve mass transfer. - Stirring and Agitation: Mechanical stirring or using impellers can improve the mixing of reactants and products, thus enhancing mass transfer. - Microreactors: These offer high surface-to-volume ratios and can significantly improve mass transfer rates.
