Several strategies can be employed to reduce the formation of toxic by-products:
1. Catalyst Selection: Choosing highly selective catalysts minimizes side reactions. 2. Process Optimization: Fine-tuning reaction conditions such as temperature, pressure, and reactant concentrations. 3. Use of Green Catalysts: Catalysts that are environmentally benign can reduce the overall toxicity of the process. 4. Post-Reaction Treatment: Techniques like scrubbing, adsorption, and catalytic converters can remove toxic by-products.
