How Do Foreign Substances Enter Catalytic Systems?
Foreign substances can enter catalytic systems through various routes:
- Raw Materials: Impurities in the raw materials used for the catalyst or the reactants can introduce foreign substances. - Manufacturing Process: During the production of catalysts, contamination can occur from equipment or handling. - Operational Environment: Catalysts can be exposed to foreign substances from the surrounding environment during their operation. - Degradation Products: Over time, catalysts and reactants can degrade, releasing unwanted byproducts that act as foreign substances.
