What are the Challenges Associated with Continuous Flow Reactors?
Despite their many advantages, continuous flow reactors also come with challenges:
Complex Design: Designing and optimizing continuous flow reactors can be more complex than batch reactors, requiring advanced engineering and control systems. Catalyst Deactivation: Continuous exposure to reactants can lead to catalyst deactivation, necessitating regular catalyst replacement or regeneration. Scale-Up Issues: While continuous flow reactors are scalable, transitioning from laboratory to industrial scale can present challenges.
