What are the Risks Associated with Catalyst Deactivation?
Catalyst deactivation is a common issue that can lead to the loss of catalytic activity and selectivity. This can result in process inefficiencies, increased energy consumption, and higher production of unwanted by-products. In some cases, the deactivation of catalysts can cause the release of toxic substances. Understanding the mechanisms of catalyst deactivation and developing regeneration techniques are critical to maintaining the performance and safety of catalytic processes.
