What are the Challenges in Catalysis for Acrylonitrile Production?
Despite its advantages, the catalytic production of acrylonitrile also faces several challenges:
Catalyst Deactivation: Over time, catalysts can become less effective due to fouling, sintering, or poisoning by impurities. Cost: High-performance catalysts can be expensive to develop and produce, affecting the overall economics of the process. Reaction Conditions: Maintaining optimal reaction conditions (temperature, pressure, and reactant ratios) is crucial for maximizing catalyst performance and minimizing by-products.
