What Are the Challenges of Mechanochemical Synthesis?
Despite its advantages, mechanochemical synthesis also faces several challenges:
Process Control: Achieving consistent and reproducible results can be difficult due to the complex nature of mechanical forces. Contamination: Wear and tear of milling equipment can introduce impurities into the product. Scale-Up: While scalable, transitioning from laboratory to industrial scale requires careful consideration of various factors, including energy input and material handling. Understanding Mechanisms: The exact mechanisms of mechanochemical reactions are not always well understood, making it challenging to optimize conditions.
