The primary variables monitored and controlled in catalytic processes include:
Temperature: Maintaining optimal temperatures is crucial for achieving the desired reaction rates and selectivity. Pressure: Pressure affects the reaction kinetics and equilibrium; hence, it must be carefully controlled. Reactant Concentrations: The ratio of reactants can significantly impact the reaction's efficiency and the lifespan of the catalyst. Flow Rates: The flow rates of reactants and products need to be managed to ensure the catalyst operates under optimal conditions.
