What Role Does Pressure Play in Catalysis?

Pressure can influence the equilibrium and rate of gas-phase reactions. For example, in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, higher pressures favor the formation of longer-chain hydrocarbons. In liquid-phase reactions, pressure can impact the solubility of gases, thus affecting reaction rates. It is essential to optimize pressure to balance reaction kinetics and catalyst performance.
