Several factors can influence the choice of feedstock ratios, including:
1. Catalyst Type: Different catalysts may have varying affinities for the reactants, necessitating adjustments in the feedstock ratios. 2. Reaction Mechanism: The specific pathway through which the reaction proceeds can dictate the optimal ratio. 3. Temperature and Pressure: These operational parameters can affect the reaction kinetics and equilibrium, thereby influencing the ideal feedstock ratio. 4. Purity of Feedstocks: Impurities in the feedstock can affect the efficiency of the catalyst and may require adjustments in the ratio to compensate.
