What Factors Influence the Selection of Reactor Materials?
Several factors play a role in selecting appropriate reactor materials:
Chemical Compatibility: The material must resist corrosion and degradation from the reactants and products. Thermal Stability: The material should withstand the operating temperatures without losing its structural integrity. Mechanical Strength: The material must endure the physical stresses imposed by high pressures and fluid dynamics. Cost: Economic considerations often dictate the feasibility of using certain materials, especially in large-scale operations.
