What Challenges Exist in Improving Raw Material Efficiency Through Catalysis?
Despite the benefits, several challenges must be addressed:
Catalyst Deactivation: Over time, catalysts can lose their activity due to poisoning, fouling, or sintering. Cost of Catalysts: Some catalysts, particularly those involving precious metals, can be expensive. Scalability: Laboratory-scale catalytic processes may not always translate efficiently to industrial scales. Environmental Impact: The production and disposal of catalysts can have environmental repercussions.
