What Are the Types of Continuous Reactors Used in Catalysis?
Several types of continuous reactors are commonly used in catalysis, including:
Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR): Ideal for liquid-phase reactions, offering good mixing and temperature control. Fixed Bed Reactor: Often used for gas-phase reactions where the catalyst is immobilized in a packed bed. Fluidized Bed Reactor: Provides excellent mixing and heat transfer, suitable for both gas and liquid phases. Tubular Reactor: Used for high-throughput, continuous processes with good heat management.
