What are the challenges in temperature measurement in catalysis?
Challenges in temperature measurement in catalytic systems include:
Reaction Exothermicity: Many catalytic reactions are exothermic, causing localized hot spots. Accurate measurement needs to account for these temperature gradients. Heat Transfer: Efficient heat transfer mechanisms must be in place to ensure uniform temperature distribution across the catalyst bed. In-Situ Measurement: Real-time temperature monitoring without disrupting the reaction environment is crucial for obtaining accurate data. Catalyst Deactivation: High temperatures can lead to catalyst deactivation, necessitating precise control to maintain catalyst life and activity.
