What are the Challenges Associated with Heat Generation in Catalytic Processes?
Despite its benefits, heat generation in catalytic processes poses several challenges:
Hot Spots: Uneven heat distribution can create hot spots in the reactor, leading to catalyst damage and uneven reaction rates. Thermal Degradation: High temperatures can cause thermal degradation of the catalyst and reactants, reducing the overall efficiency. Material Constraints: The materials used in reactor construction must withstand high temperatures, which can limit design choices and increase costs.
