What Are the Challenges in High-Temperature and High-Pressure Catalysis?
Operating under high temperature and pressure presents several challenges, including: - Catalyst deactivation: High temperatures can lead to sintering and loss of active surface area. - Material constraints: Equipment must be made from materials that can withstand extreme conditions without degrading. - Safety concerns: High pressure increases the risk of leaks and explosions. - Energy consumption: Maintaining high temperatures and pressures requires significant energy input, impacting the overall efficiency and cost.
