What are the Challenges in Catalytic Conversion of Paraffins?
Despite the benefits, there are several challenges associated with the catalytic conversion of paraffins:
Catalyst deactivation: Over time, catalysts can lose their activity due to fouling, sintering, or poisoning. Selectivity: Achieving high selectivity for desired products while minimizing by-products can be difficult. Energy efficiency: Many catalytic processes require high temperatures and pressures, leading to high energy consumption.
