What are the Challenges in Catalysis for Gas Turbines?
Despite the benefits, there are several challenges associated with the use of catalysis in gas turbines:
1. Catalyst Deactivation: Over time, catalysts can become less effective due to sintering, poisoning, or fouling. 2. Cost: Precious metal catalysts can be expensive, leading to higher initial costs. 3. Durability: Catalysts must withstand high temperatures and harsh operating conditions without degrading. 4. Complexity: Integrating catalytic systems into existing gas turbine designs can be complex and may require significant modifications.
