What are the Challenges in Ammonia Oxidation Catalysis?
Several challenges exist in ammonia oxidation catalysis, including:
Catalyst Deactivation: Over time, catalysts can lose their activity due to sintering, poisoning, or thermal degradation. Selectivity: Achieving high selectivity towards the desired product (NO) while minimizing side reactions and by-products such as N2O. Heat Management: The reaction is highly exothermic, requiring efficient heat management to prevent overheating and catalyst damage.
