What are the Strategies to Mitigate Coke Formation?
Several strategies can be employed to mitigate coke formation and its adverse effects on catalysts:
Optimizing Reaction Conditions: Adjusting temperature, pressure, and feed composition to minimize coking tendencies. Catalyst Modification: Using catalysts with higher resistance to coking, such as those with larger pore sizes or different compositions (e.g., zeolites, noble metals). Regeneration Techniques: Periodically regenerating the catalyst through oxidative or reductive treatments to remove coke deposits. Use of Promoters: Adding substances that inhibit coke formation, such as steam or specific chemical additives.
