How Can Catalysts Be Made More Environmentally Friendly?
To make catalysis more sustainable, researchers are exploring various strategies:
Green Chemistry: Developing catalysts from abundant and non-toxic materials, such as biomass-derived substances, can reduce environmental impact. Recycling and Reuse: Implementing efficient recycling methods for catalysts can minimize waste and reduce the demand for raw materials. Improved Catalyst Design: Designing catalysts that are more robust and have longer lifespans can enhance their overall sustainability.
