What Are the Challenges Associated with Hydrophilic Additives?
While hydrophilic additives offer numerous benefits, they also pose some challenges:
Compatibility Issues: The additive must be compatible with both the catalyst and the reaction medium. Leaching: There is a risk of the additive leaching out of the system, which can affect the reaction and the environment. Cost: High-quality hydrophilic additives can be expensive, adding to the overall cost of the catalytic process.
