What are the Challenges in Regenerating Zeolite Catalysts?
Regenerating zeolite catalysts comes with several challenges:
Thermal Stability: High temperatures required for oxidative regeneration can cause dealumination and collapse of the zeolite structure. Poisoning: Some contaminants, such as heavy metals, cannot be easily removed and may require complex chemical treatments. Cost: Regeneration processes can be expensive and energy-intensive, impacting the overall cost-efficiency of the catalytic process.
