Achieving the optimal pressure is crucial for several reasons:
Reaction Rate: Pressure can significantly influence the reaction kinetics. Higher pressure often increases the concentration of reactants, thereby accelerating the reaction rate. Yield and Selectivity: Adjusting the pressure can help in steering the reaction towards the desired products, enhancing both yield and selectivity. Energy Efficiency: Operating at optimal pressure can reduce energy consumption, making the process more cost-effective and sustainable. Safety: Maintaining the optimal pressure can also mitigate risks associated with high-pressure operations, such as equipment failure or hazardous conditions.
