Leakage can have several detrimental effects on catalytic processes:
Reduced Efficiency: Loss of catalysts or reactants can lower the reaction rate and yield, making the process less efficient. Increased Costs: Replacing lost materials and unplanned maintenance can increase operational costs. Environmental Impact: Leakage can result in the release of hazardous substances into the environment, posing ecological and health risks. Product Contamination: Leakage can introduce impurities into the product stream, affecting product quality.
