What are the Key Parameters for Process Optimization?
Several key parameters must be considered during the optimization of catalytic processes:
Reaction Temperature: Affects the rate of reaction and catalyst stability. Pressure: Influences the equilibrium and reaction rate, especially in gas-phase reactions. Concentration of Reactants: Determines the rate of reaction and potential side reactions. Catalyst Loading: The amount of catalyst used can impact the efficiency and cost. Residence Time: The time reactants spend in the reactor affects conversion and selectivity.
