Yes, catalysis is pivotal in water treatment processes. Catalysts are used in various water purification technologies, such as:
Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs): Catalysts facilitate the generation of highly reactive species like hydroxyl radicals, which can break down pollutants in water. Photocatalysis: Catalysts such as titanium dioxide are used to harness solar energy for degrading organic contaminants. Electrocatalysis: Catalysts can improve the efficiency of electrochemical water treatment methods, such as electrocoagulation and electrodialysis.
