Several factors contribute to the operational load in a catalytic process:
Temperature: Higher temperatures can increase reaction rates but may also lead to catalyst sintering or deactivation. Pressure: Elevated pressures can enhance reactant solubility and reaction rates but may require more robust equipment. Reactant Concentration: High concentrations can improve productivity but might cause catalyst poisoning or fouling. Flow Rates: Optimal flow rates ensure efficient contact between reactants and the catalyst, affecting performance and stability.
