Monolith reactors play a critical role in catalysis for several reasons. Firstly, their unique structure provides a large surface area for the catalyst, which is essential for enhancing the contact between reactants and the catalytic material. Secondly, they offer low pressure drop, which is crucial in maintaining energy efficiency in industrial processes. Thirdly, monolith reactors exhibit excellent thermal and mechanical stability, making them suitable for high-temperature reactions and harsh operating conditions.
