What are the challenges of catalyst design for industrial applications?
Designing catalysts for industrial applications involves several challenges:
1. Scalability: The catalyst must be effective at both laboratory and industrial scales. 2. Cost: The catalyst should be economically feasible, considering both raw materials and manufacturing processes. 3. Durability: Industrial catalysts must withstand continuous operation without significant deactivation. 4. Regulatory Compliance: Catalysts used in industries, especially pharmaceuticals and food, must comply with stringent regulatory standards.
