How Can the Negative Effects of High Humidity be Mitigated?
Several strategies can be employed to mitigate the negative effects of high humidity on catalytic reactions. One approach is to use hydrophobic catalysts that repel water, thereby minimizing the adsorption of water onto the active sites. Another strategy is to modify the reaction conditions, such as increasing the temperature, to reduce the relative humidity. Additionally, the use of adsorbents to remove water from the reaction environment can also be effective.
