What are the Challenges in Achieving Zero Leakage?
Despite the importance of zero leakage, several challenges need to be addressed:
1. High Pressure and Temperature: Many catalytic reactions operate under high pressure and temperature, which can increase the risk of leakage. 2. Corrosive Materials: The use of corrosive reactants and products can degrade seals and other containment measures, leading to leakage. 3. Complex Systems: The complexity of catalytic processes, especially in industrial settings, can make it difficult to identify and prevent all potential leakage points. 4. Cost: Implementing zero leakage measures can be costly, particularly for existing facilities that may require significant upgrades.
