Several factors can trigger alerts in catalytic processes:
Temperature deviations: Catalytic reactions often require precise temperature control. Deviations can lead to suboptimal performance or damage to the catalyst. Pressure changes: Many catalytic processes, especially those involving gases, are sensitive to pressure changes that can affect reaction rates and equilibrium. pH fluctuations: In aqueous catalytic processes, pH can significantly impact the catalyst's activity and selectivity. Chemical contamination: The presence of impurities or poisons can deactivate the catalyst and affect the reaction pathway. Flow rate variations: For flow reactors, consistent reactant flow is crucial for steady-state operation and optimal performance.
