The design of reactors plays a pivotal role in achieving excellent mixing. Different types of reactors, such as CSTRs (Continuous Stirred-Tank Reactors), PFRs (Plug Flow Reactors), and fixed-bed reactors, offer varying degrees of mixing efficiency. For instance, CSTRs are known for their excellent mixing capabilities due to continuous agitation, whereas PFRs rely on the flow dynamics to achieve mixing. The choice of reactor depends on the specific requirements of the catalytic process.
