What are the Challenges in Scaling Catalytic Processes?
Several challenges arise when scaling catalytic processes from the lab to industrial scale. Key challenges include:
Reproducibility: Ensuring that the catalyst performs consistently across different scales. Heat Management: Efficiently managing the heat generated or consumed during the reaction. Mass Transfer Limitations: Overcoming limitations in the transport of reactants and products to and from the active sites. Economic Considerations: Ensuring that the catalytic process is cost-effective at a larger scale.
