How Significant are Catalyst Deactivation and Stability Issues?
Catalyst deactivation is a major bottleneck in many catalytic processes. Deactivation can occur due to various reasons such as poisoning, sintering, coking, or leaching of active components. Ensuring catalyst stability over prolonged periods of operation is crucial for the economic viability of catalytic processes. Developing catalysts that are resistant to deactivation and can be easily regenerated is an ongoing challenge in catalysis research.
