How Does Over Oxidation Affect Industrial Processes?
In industrial processes, particularly those involving selective oxidation, over oxidation can lead to a decrease in yield and selectivity of the desired product. This not only reduces the efficiency of the process but also increases the cost due to the need for additional separation and purification steps. In some cases, over oxidation can also lead to the formation of unwanted toxic byproducts, necessitating further handling and disposal considerations.
