What are the Challenges in Reducing Catalyst Loading?
While reducing catalyst loading offers numerous benefits, it also presents several challenges:
1. Stability: Highly active catalysts may be less stable and more prone to deactivation, leading to the need for frequent replacement or regeneration.
2. Scalability: Laboratory-scale reductions in catalyst loading do not always translate directly to industrial-scale processes. Ensuring that these reductions are feasible at larger scales can be challenging.
3. Selectivity: A more active catalyst may not always maintain the desired selectivity, leading to unwanted side reactions and by-products.
