Pressure optimization in catalytic systems comes with several challenges:
Safety Concerns: High-pressure systems can pose safety risks, requiring robust engineering controls and safety protocols. Cost Implications: Achieving and maintaining high pressures can be costly, both in terms of equipment and operational expenses. Material Limitations: Some catalysts or reactor materials may not withstand high-pressure conditions, leading to potential degradation or failure. Complex Interactions: The interplay between pressure, temperature, and other reaction parameters can be complex, making optimization a multifaceted problem.
