What are the Challenges Associated with Molecular Sieve Catalysts?
Despite their advantages, molecular sieve catalysts also face certain challenges:
1. Pore Blockage: Over time, the pores can become blocked by reaction by-products, reducing catalytic efficiency. 2. Limited Range of Reactions: The pore size constraints limit the types of reactions that can be catalyzed. 3. Cost: The synthesis and preparation of high-quality molecular sieves can be expensive.
