Several strategies can be employed to minimize waste in catalytic processes:
Optimization of Reaction Conditions: Fine-tuning parameters such as temperature, pressure, and catalyst concentration can maximize efficiency and minimize by-products. Use of Green Catalysts: Employing biocatalysts or heterogeneous catalysts that are easier to separate and recycle. Recycling and Reuse: Developing methods to regenerate spent catalysts and reusing solvents can significantly reduce waste.
