What advancements are being made to mitigate the environmental impact of catalysis?
Researchers are continually working on innovations to reduce the environmental impact of catalysis:
Development of alternative materials: Scientists are exploring the use of non-precious metal catalysts and other sustainable materials to reduce dependence on rare and expensive metals. Green catalysis: The field of green chemistry focuses on designing catalysts and catalytic processes that are environmentally benign, produce less waste, and use renewable resources. Recycling and regeneration: Efforts are being made to develop methods for the recycling and regeneration of spent catalysts to minimize waste and reduce the need for new raw materials.
