What Factors Should be Considered When Adjusting Pressure?
When adjusting pressure in catalytic reactions, several factors need to be considered:
Reaction Kinetics: Understanding how pressure influences the rate-determining step. Catalyst Stability: High pressures can lead to physical degradation or chemical deactivation of the catalyst. Safety: High-pressure systems require robust equipment and safety protocols to prevent accidents. Economic Viability: The cost of operating at high pressures versus the benefits gained.
