Poor mixing can lead to several undesirable outcomes:
Reduced Reaction Rates: Inadequate contact between reactants and catalysts can slow down the reaction. Lower Yields: Uneven mixing can result in incomplete reactions, leading to lower product yields. Hot Spots: Localized overheating can deactivate the catalyst, reducing its effectiveness and lifespan. Side Reactions: Inconsistent mixing can facilitate side reactions, reducing the selectivity of the desired product.
