In catalytic processes, diaphragm pumps play a crucial role for several reasons:
1. Chemical Compatibility: Diaphragm pumps can handle a wide variety of corrosive chemicals and aggressive fluids without degrading, making them ideal for transporting reactants and products in catalytic reactions.
2. Accuracy and Repeatability: These pumps offer precise control over flow rates, which is essential for maintaining the exact conditions required for optimal catalytic activity.
3. Safety: Since many catalytic processes involve hazardous chemicals, the leak-proof nature of diaphragm pumps ensures that these substances are contained, reducing the risk of exposure.
