Several key parameters must be monitored and controlled to ensure optimal catalytic performance:
Temperature: Maintaining the appropriate temperature is critical, as it influences the reaction rate and selectivity. Pressure: Pressure affects the equilibrium and kinetics of many catalytic reactions. Concentration: The concentration of reactants and products must be controlled to optimize the reaction pathway. Flow Rates: Controlling the flow rates of gases and liquids to ensure proper mixing and contact with the catalyst. pH: For reactions occurring in aqueous media, maintaining the correct pH is essential for catalyst activity and stability.
