How Does Catalysis Enhance Waste Treatment Processes?
Catalysis enhances waste treatment by:
- Increasing Reaction Rates: Catalysts lower the activation energy required for reactions, speeding up the detoxification processes. - Selectivity: Catalysts can be designed to target specific pollutants, ensuring efficient and selective removal. - Energy Efficiency: Catalytic processes often require less energy compared to traditional methods, reducing overall operational costs and carbon footprint.
