What Challenges are Associated with High Pressure Catalysts?
Despite their advantages, high pressure catalysts face several challenges:
Deactivation: Prolonged exposure to high pressures can lead to catalyst deactivation due to sintering, coking, or poisoning. Mechanical Stability: The catalyst support must withstand the mechanical stress induced by high pressure conditions. Cost: Developing and manufacturing high pressure catalysts can be costly, which impacts the overall economics of the process.
