What Challenges are Associated with High Temperature Catalysis?
High temperature catalysis presents several challenges, including: - Thermal Deactivation: Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can lead to sintering, where catalyst particles agglomerate, reducing active surface area. - Coking: The deposition of carbonaceous materials on the catalyst surface, which can block active sites and reduce efficiency. - Material Degradation: High temperatures can cause structural changes in the catalyst, affecting its performance and lifespan.
