Several factors contribute to the underutilization of catalytic technologies:
1. Lack of Awareness: Many industries and researchers may not be fully aware of the latest advancements in catalyst technology or how these can be applied to improve their processes. 2. Economic Constraints: High initial costs can deter the adoption of new catalytic processes. Even if long-term benefits are significant, the upfront investment can be a barrier. 3. Technological Barriers: Some catalytic systems may require specific conditions or equipment that are not readily available in all settings. 4. Regulatory Hurdles: Compliance with environmental and safety regulations may limit the implementation of certain catalytic processes.
