What are the Challenges in Achieving High Translation Efficiency?
Achieving high translation efficiency can be challenging due to:
1. Catalyst Deactivation: Over time, catalysts can lose activity due to fouling, sintering, or poisoning. 2. Side Reactions: Unwanted by-products can reduce the overall efficiency and selectivity of the process. 3. Mass Transfer Limitations: In heterogeneous catalysis, the transfer of reactants to the active sites and products away from the active sites can be limiting factors. 4. Thermodynamic Constraints: Some reactions are inherently limited by thermodynamic equilibrium, which can cap the maximum achievable efficiency.
