Preventing catalyst decomposition can be approached through several strategies:
1. Optimizing Reaction Conditions: By controlling temperature, pressure, and other reaction parameters, the lifespan of the catalyst can be extended. 2. Using Additives: Certain additives can help to stabilize the catalyst and prevent deactivation. 3. Regeneration Techniques: Periodically regenerating the catalyst by removing deposited materials or reactivating its surface can prolong its life. 4. Improved Catalyst Design: Developing more robust catalysts that are resistant to decomposition can also be an effective strategy.
