What Techniques are Used to Manage Temperature in Catalysis?
Various techniques are employed to manage temperature effectively: - Heat Exchangers: Used to preheat reactants or remove excess heat from exothermic reactions. - Cooling Jackets and Coils: Surrounding reactors with cooling jackets or coils helps dissipate excess heat. - Temperature Sensors and Controllers: Advanced _temperature sensors_ and controllers provide real-time monitoring and adjustments to maintain optimal conditions. - Endothermic Reactions Coupling: Pairing exothermic and endothermic reactions in the same reactor can help balance the temperature.
