Several factors can influence product quality in catalytic processes:
1. Catalyst Activity: The activity of a catalyst determines the rate of the reaction. Variations in activity can lead to fluctuations in product yield and purity. 2. Selectivity: A highly selective catalyst will produce fewer by-products, ensuring a purer end product. Changes in selectivity can compromise product quality. 3. Stability: Catalysts must be stable under operational conditions. Deactivation or degradation of the catalyst can lead to inconsistent performance. 4. Reactor Conditions: Temperature, pressure, and feedstock composition must be controlled precisely to maintain consistent product quality. Variations in these parameters can affect reaction outcomes.
