What are the Challenges in Propane Dehydrogenation?
Several challenges need to be addressed for efficient propane dehydrogenation:
- Coke Formation: Over time, carbonaceous deposits, known as coke, can form on the catalyst surface, leading to [catalyst deactivation](https://). - Selectivity: Ensuring high selectivity towards propylene while minimizing side reactions that produce unwanted by-products. - Thermal Management: The dehydrogenation reaction is endothermic, requiring precise temperature control to maintain optimal reaction conditions. - Catalyst Regeneration: Developing efficient methods for regenerating deactivated catalysts to extend their lifespan.
