What Applications of Nanofluids in Catalysis Exist?
Nanofluids have found applications in various catalytic processes:
1. Heterogeneous Catalysis: Nanofluids can serve as effective supports for heterogeneous catalysts, enhancing the reaction rates of processes like hydrogenation, oxidation, and photocatalysis. 2. Bio-catalysis: Enzymes immobilized on nanoparticles in nanofluids can result in higher stability and activity, beneficial for biochemical reactions. 3. Environmental Catalysis: Nanofluids are used in the degradation of pollutants, such as in the photocatalytic degradation of organic contaminants in wastewater.
