What are the Challenges in Catalytic Production of Styrene?
Several challenges exist in the catalytic production of styrene. The process is endothermic, requiring significant energy input. Additionally, the catalysts used can deactivate over time due to coking or sintering. Researchers are continuously seeking more durable and efficient catalysts to improve the process. Another challenge is the environmental impact, as the process can produce unwanted byproducts and greenhouse gases.
