Monitoring catalyst degradation is essential for several reasons: 1. Optimization of Process Efficiency: Degraded catalysts can lead to reduced reaction rates, lower yields, and poorer product quality. 2. Cost Management: Catalysts can be expensive. Monitoring their condition helps in planning timely replacements and avoiding unexpected shutdowns. 3. Environmental Concerns: Inefficient catalysts may lead to incomplete reactions and the release of harmful by-products.
