What Are the Challenges Associated with Perforated Plates in Catalysis?
Despite their benefits, there are challenges in using perforated plates in catalysis:
Clogging: The holes can get clogged with reaction by-products, reducing efficiency. Pressure Drop: The presence of holes can sometimes cause a pressure drop, affecting the flow of reactants and products. Mechanical Stability: Ensuring that the plate maintains its structural integrity under extreme conditions can be challenging.
