What are the Challenges in Using Agricultural Residues?
Despite their potential, utilizing agricultural residues in catalysis faces several challenges. These include:
Heterogeneous Composition: The composition of agricultural residues can vary significantly, affecting the efficiency of catalytic processes. Pretreatment Costs: The processing and pretreatment of residues can be cost-intensive and energy-consuming. Catalyst Deactivation: Residual impurities in agricultural residues can lead to the deactivation of catalysts, necessitating frequent catalyst regeneration or replacement.
