Conducting an EIA in the context of catalysis involves several steps:
1. Screening: - Determine whether the catalytic process requires a full EIA based on its potential environmental impact.
2. Scoping: - Identify the key environmental issues and impacts that need to be assessed.
3. Impact Analysis: - Perform a detailed analysis of the potential environmental impacts of the catalytic process, including life cycle assessment (LCA).
4. Mitigation Measures: - Develop and propose measures to mitigate identified environmental impacts.
5. Public Consultation: - Engage with stakeholders, including the public, to gather feedback and address concerns.
6. Reporting: - Compile the findings into an EIA report, which is reviewed by regulatory authorities.
