What Are Some Challenges Associated with Ion Exchange Chromatography in Catalysis?
Despite its advantages, IEC in catalysis research can face challenges such as: - Complex Mixtures: Catalytic reactions often produce complex mixtures that can be difficult to separate completely. - Column Fouling: Contaminants or strongly bound species can foul the column, reducing its efficiency. - Time-Consuming: The process can be time-consuming, especially when dealing with large-scale separations or multiple samples.
