Several strategies can be employed to mitigate volume limitations in catalytic processes:
Optimizing Catalyst Geometry: Designing catalysts with appropriate pore sizes and shapes can improve reactant diffusion and accessibility. Using Structured Catalysts: Structured catalysts, such as monoliths and foams, offer enhanced mass and heat transfer properties compared to conventional pelletized catalysts. Employing Microreactors: Microreactors with small reaction volumes can provide better control over reaction conditions, thereby reducing volume-related issues.
