Several factors can influence the efficiency of a catalytic reactor:
Catalyst Activity: The ability of a catalyst to accelerate the reaction rate. Reaction Conditions: Temperature, pressure, and concentration of reactants. Reactor Design: The physical configuration of the reactor, such as packed-bed, fluidized-bed, or continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTR). Mass Transfer: The movement of reactants to the catalytic site and products away from it.
