Preventing catalytic accidents involves several strategies:
1. Proper Training: Ensuring that all personnel are well-trained in handling catalysts and aware of the risks involved. 2. Monitoring: Implementing real-time monitoring systems for reaction conditions like temperature, pressure, and concentration. 3. Safety Protocols: Establishing and strictly following safety protocols, including emergency shutdown procedures. 4. Risk Assessment: Conducting thorough risk assessments before scaling up any catalytic process. 5. Equipment Maintenance: Regular maintenance and inspection of reactors and related equipment to prevent mechanical failures.
