What are the Challenges in Optimizing Catalytic Processes?
Despite its benefits, optimizing catalytic processes comes with challenges. These include:
Complex Reactions: Understanding and controlling complex reaction mechanisms can be difficult. Catalyst Deactivation: Catalysts may lose activity over time due to poisoning, sintering, or fouling. Scale-up: Processes optimized on a small scale may not perform similarly in large-scale production. Cost: High costs of catalyst materials and optimization technologies can be prohibitive.
