What are the Challenges of Integrating Catalysis in RO Systems?
Despite the potential benefits, there are several challenges associated with integrating catalysis in reverse osmosis systems: 1. Cost: The addition of catalytic materials can increase the overall cost of the membrane. 2. Stability: Catalysts need to be stable under operational conditions to be effective over long periods. 3. Scalability: Developing catalytic RO membranes on a commercial scale can be complex and requires significant research and development. 4. Compatibility: Ensuring that the catalysts do not negatively interact with the membrane material or compromise its structural integrity.
