What Strategies Can Mitigate Catalytic Deactivation?
Several strategies can be employed to mitigate catalytic deactivation:
Poison-Resistant Catalysts: Developing catalysts that are less sensitive to poisons can help maintain activity. Improved Catalyst Design: Designing catalysts with enhanced thermal stability and resistance to sintering can prolong their lifespan. Regeneration Techniques: Processes such as oxidative regeneration can remove coke deposits and restore activity. Process Optimization: Adjusting reaction conditions to minimize deactivation mechanisms, such as lowering temperatures or altering feed compositions.
