Catalysis enhances wastewater treatment in several ways:
Increased Reaction Rates: Catalysts speed up the chemical reactions that break down pollutants, making the treatment process faster. Reduced Energy Consumption: Catalytic processes often require lower temperatures and pressures, reducing the energy needed for treatment. Targeted Pollutant Removal: Specific catalysts can be designed to target and remove particular contaminants such as heavy metals, organic compounds, and pharmaceuticals.
