What are the Challenges Associated with Microwave Irradiation in Catalysis?
Despite its benefits, microwave irradiation also presents several challenges:
1. Scalability: Scaling up microwave-assisted reactions from laboratory to industrial scale can be difficult. 2. Control: Precise control of microwave energy and uniform heating can be challenging. 3. Equipment Cost: Specialized microwave reactors can be expensive. 4. Safety: High energy levels can pose safety risks if not properly managed.
