Catalysts are susceptible to various forms of deactivation, which can significantly impact the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of industrial processes. Protective agents are crucial for:
- Extending Catalyst Life: By mitigating deactivation processes, protective agents prolong the operational life of catalysts, reducing the frequency of replacements. - Maintaining Activity: They help in maintaining the high activity and selectivity of catalysts, ensuring consistent product quality. - Economic Efficiency: The use of protective agents can lead to cost savings by reducing downtime and the need for frequent catalyst regeneration or replacement.
