Why are Anti-Fouling Coatings Important in Catalysis?
In catalytic processes, the performance and durability of catalysts can be severely impaired by fouling. Fouling involves the deposition of unwanted species on the catalyst surface, which can block active sites, reduce catalytic activity, and increase the pressure drop across the catalytic bed. Anti-fouling coatings help in mitigating these issues, ensuring optimal performance and extended lifespan of catalysts.
