What is Strong Diffusional Resistance?

Strong Diffusional Resistance in the context of catalysis refers to a situation where the movement of reactants or products through a medium, such as a catalyst or a reaction mixture, is significantly hindered by diffusion.

What is Deactivation of Catalyst?

Catalyst deactivation refers to a gradual loss of catalytic activity over time, leading to a decline in the catalyst's effectiveness in promoting a chemical reaction. This phenomenon can occur due to various factors, and understanding the mechanisms of catalyst deactivation is crucial for optimizing and extending the lifespan of catalysts in industrial processes.
