What are the Challenges Associated with Monoliths?
Despite their advantages, monoliths also present some challenges:
1. Cost: The fabrication process can be expensive, particularly for materials like metals and advanced ceramics. 2. Complexity: The design and impregnation of active materials require precise control and expertise. 3. Fouling: In some applications, the pores of the monolith can become blocked, reducing efficiency. 4. Material Limitations: Not all catalytic materials are compatible with monolithic structures.
