Conducting QRA in catalysis presents several challenges:
- Data Availability: Reliable data on catalyst properties, reaction kinetics, and failure rates are essential but often limited. - Complexity: Catalytic processes can be highly complex, involving multiple reactions, intermediates, and products. - Uncertainty: Uncertainties in reaction mechanisms, scale-up processes, and long-term catalyst behavior can complicate risk assessments. - Dynamic Conditions: Catalytic reactions often occur under dynamic conditions, requiring real-time monitoring and adaptive risk management strategies.
