There are several reasons why CSTRs are favored in catalytic processes:
- Uniform Mixing: The constant stirring ensures that the reactants are uniformly mixed, which is essential for the catalyst to interact effectively with the reactants. - Temperature Control: The reactor allows for precise control over the temperature, which is crucial for catalytic reactions that are sensitive to temperature changes. - Scalability: CSTRs can be easily scaled up for industrial applications, making them ideal for processes that require large volumes of reactants.
