There are several strategies to reduce toxicity in catalytic processes:
Green Catalysts: Developing and using catalysts that are less toxic and more environmentally friendly. Biocatalysts: Utilizing enzymes or other biological molecules as catalysts, which are typically biodegradable and less toxic. Nanocatalysts: Employing nanoparticles that can offer high catalytic activity with reduced amounts of toxic metals. Recycling Catalysts: Implementing methods to recover and reuse catalysts, minimizing the release of toxic substances. Non-metal Catalysts: Exploring the use of organic or other non-metallic catalysts to avoid toxicity issues associated with metal-based catalysts.
