What are the Challenges Associated with Thermal Radiation in Catalysis?
One of the main challenges is ensuring uniform heating of the catalyst and reactants, as uneven thermal radiation can lead to hotspots and temperature gradients, which may reduce the efficiency of the catalytic process. Additionally, excessive thermal radiation can lead to the deactivation of certain catalysts, especially those sensitive to high temperatures. Managing these challenges requires careful design and optimization of the catalytic system.
