Can Dynamic Reactions Lead to Catalyst Deactivation?
Yes, dynamic reactions can lead to catalyst deactivation due to factors such as coking, poisoning, and sintering. Coking involves the deposition of carbonaceous materials on the catalyst surface, blocking active sites. Poisoning occurs when impurities bind to the catalyst, reducing its activity. Sintering involves the agglomeration of catalyst particles, leading to a loss of surface area and active sites.
