What are the Challenges in Catalyst Recovery and Recycling?
Despite the benefits, catalyst recovery and recycling face several challenges:
Purity: Achieving high purity levels of recovered catalysts is difficult, especially if they are contaminated with reaction by-products. Deactivation: Catalysts can lose their activity over time due to poisoning, sintering, or coking. Reactivating or regenerating these catalysts can be complex. Economic Viability: The cost of recovery and recycling processes may sometimes outweigh the benefits, particularly for low-cost catalysts.
