1. What are the common characteristics of the CO conversion reaction and the ammonia synthesis reaction, and what are the features of their reactors in terms of the optimal reaction temperature and its control?
The common feature is that they are all exothermic reactions. Both the shift reaction catalyst and the ammonia synthesis catalyst belong to the iron family. The reaction temperature and pressure vary depending on the catalyst used. The isothermal shift reaction reactor is similar to the ammonia synthesis reactor, as in both cases heat is removed through the generation of water vapor.
Let me tell you something you need to know; I’ll try to explain it to you!
They are all solid catalysts that catalyze reactions in the gas phase, which are exothermic reactions
