Despite their advantages, slurry reactors have some limitations:
1. Catalyst Separation: Post-reaction, separating the fine catalyst particles from the liquid can be challenging and may require additional filtration or centrifugation steps. 2. Erosion: The continuous agitation can lead to the erosion of catalyst particles, reducing their effectiveness over time. 3. Viscosity Issues: High viscosity liquids can make it difficult to maintain a uniform suspension of catalyst particles, affecting the reactor's efficiency.
