FACTORS AFFECTING THE RATE OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS AND THEIR IMPORTANCE IN INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES
Keywords:
Reaction rate, chemical kinetics, industrial chemistry, catalysts, temperature effect, concentration, activation energy, industrial processes.Abstract
This article explores the key factors affecting the rate of chemical reactions—temperature, concentration, pressure, catalysts, surface area, and the nature of reactants—and examines their significance in industrial chemical processes. It highlights how reaction rate optimization contributes to increased efficiency, safety, sustainability, and economic effectiveness in industries such as pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, environmental technology, and materials manufacturing.
