Several strategies can be employed to mitigate toxicity in catalysis:
1. Green Catalysis: Developing and using non-toxic, sustainable catalysts are crucial. Enzymes and biocatalysts are excellent alternatives, offering high specificity and lower environmental impact.
2. Catalyst Recovery and Recycling: Implementing efficient recovery and recycling methods can minimize the release of toxic catalysts into the environment. Techniques such as membrane separation and adsorption are commonly used.
3. Process Optimization: Optimizing catalytic processes to minimize the amount of catalyst required and reducing the formation of toxic by-products are essential steps.
