What are the Challenges in Using Steam in Catalysis?
While steam offers numerous benefits in catalysis, it also presents challenges, such as:
Corrosion: High temperatures and the presence of water can lead to the corrosion of reactor materials and catalysts. Deactivation of Catalysts: Steam can cause sintering or poisoning of catalysts, reducing their effectiveness over time. Energy Consumption: The generation and maintenance of steam at high temperatures require significant energy inputs.
