What are the Challenges Associated with Using Physical Berms in Catalysis?
While physical berms offer significant advantages, they also come with challenges. Designing and implementing these barriers require a thorough understanding of the reaction kinetics, mass transfer, and thermodynamics. Additionally, the materials used for physical berms must be stable under reaction conditions, and the cost of these materials can sometimes be prohibitive. Ensuring uniform distribution and avoiding clogging or channeling in porous materials are other practical challenges that need to be addressed.
