What are Some Common Pitfalls in Interpreting Catalyst Loading Curves?
Misinterpretation of catalyst loading curves can lead to suboptimal catalyst usage. Common pitfalls include:
- Overloading: Using more catalyst than necessary, leading to waste and increased costs. - Underloading: Using too little catalyst, resulting in incomplete reactions and lower yields. - Ignoring Deactivation: Failing to account for catalyst deactivation can lead to inaccurate predictions of catalyst performance over time.
