Several types of stirrers are utilized in catalytic processes, including:
Magnetic stirrers: Ideal for small-scale reactions and use a magnetic field to rotate a stir bar within the reaction mixture. Overhead stirrers: Suitable for larger volumes and more viscous solutions, these use a motor-driven shaft with an attached impeller. Turbine stirrers: Often used in industrial applications, these provide high shear forces and are effective for mixing viscous and non-Newtonian fluids.
