When modifying reactor design for catalytic processes, several key factors must be taken into account:
Catalyst Type: Different catalysts (e.g., heterogeneous, homogeneous, or enzymatic) have specific requirements and constraints that must be considered in the reactor design. Reactor Type: The choice between batch, continuous, or semi-batch reactors depends on the nature of the catalytic reaction and the desired production scale. Temperature and Pressure: The reactor must be designed to withstand the operating temperature and pressure conditions required for the catalytic reaction. Residence Time: Adjusting the residence time of reactants in the reactor can influence the conversion and selectivity of the reaction.
