How Do Regulations Impact Catalytic Research and Development?
Regulations impact catalytic research and development in the following ways: 1. Material Selection: Certain materials may be restricted or banned, influencing the choice of catalysts. 2. Process Design: Regulations may dictate specific process parameters, such as temperature and pressure limits, to ensure safety and environmental compliance. 3. Waste Management: Guidelines on the disposal and recycling of catalytic materials affect the lifecycle of catalytic processes. 4. Innovation Constraints: Regulatory requirements can either spur innovation by setting new targets or constrain it by limiting the use of certain substances.
