How Do Transportation Delays Affect Catalytic Performance?
Transportation delays can have several detrimental effects on catalytic performance:
- Reduced Reaction Rates: Delays in the transportation of reactants to the active sites can slow down the overall reaction rate. - Selectivity Issues: Delays can lead to undesired side reactions, affecting the selectivity of the catalytic process. - Deactivation of Catalysts: The buildup of reactants or products due to transportation delays can lead to catalyst deactivation through fouling or poisoning.
