While separation processes are essential, they come with several challenges:
1. Scalability: Scaling up lab-scale separation processes to industrial levels can be difficult and expensive. 2. Selectivity: Achieving high selectivity without compromising efficiency is a major challenge. 3. Energy Consumption: Some separation techniques are energy-intensive, which can be a limiting factor for industrial applications. 4. Environmental Impact: Minimizing the environmental footprint of separation processes is crucial for sustainable nanotechnology.
