What are Some Challenges in Measuring Catalyst Concentration?
Measuring the concentration of a catalyst can be challenging due to several factors:
1. Inhomogeneity: In heterogeneous catalysis, the catalyst may not be uniformly distributed, making it difficult to obtain a representative sample. 2. Interference from Reaction Products: Products and intermediates can sometimes interfere with the measurement of catalyst concentration. 3. Deactivation: Catalysts can undergo deactivation over time, complicating the measurement of their active concentration.
