Guided evolution, selection principles

Figure 6.12 presents the results of simulations of the kinetic characteristics of the formation of the products in the initial stage of the DMTM process. As can be seen, the processes of formation of various species are significantly separated in time. This offers the potential possibility to influence selectively on individual components of the reaction mixture. The time—space evolution of the process, for example in a fast flow, makes it possible, in principle, to guide the process in a more desirable direction to another stationary state by producing influence on individual species or system parameters. The possibility of such targeted catalytic influence on rapid gas-phase processes has been repeatedly demonstrated in recent years.
