What are temperature-sensitive catalytic processes?
Temperature-sensitive catalytic processes are those where the reaction rate, selectivity, or catalyst stability significantly depend on temperature. Examples include:
Haber-Bosch process for ammonia synthesis, where optimal temperatures balance reaction rate and equilibrium. Steam reforming of methane, which requires high temperatures for efficient hydrogen production but risks catalyst deactivation. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, where temperature influences product distribution between alkanes and alkenes.
