What are the Challenges in Catalysis for Profitability?
Despite its benefits, catalysis faces several challenges that can impact profitability:
Catalyst Deactivation: Over time, catalysts can lose their activity due to poisoning, fouling, or sintering, leading to increased costs for catalyst replacement and process downtime. Development Costs: The research and development of new catalysts can be time-consuming and expensive. Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring that catalytic processes meet environmental and safety regulations can add to operational costs.
