How are Catalysts Applied in Wastewater Treatment?
Catalysts are utilized in multiple steps of wastewater treatment:
Oxidation Processes: Catalysts can be used to promote oxidation reactions that break down complex organic molecules into simpler, less harmful substances. Photocatalysis: Utilizing light-activated catalysts to degrade pollutants. This method is especially effective for treating toxic organic compounds. Electrocatalysis: Involves the use of electric fields to enhance the catalytic degradation of pollutants.
