Several containment systems are used in catalysis, each tailored to specific needs: - Reaction Vessels: These are designed to withstand the conditions of the catalytic process, such as autoclaves for high-pressure reactions or glass reactors for visible light catalysis. - Glove Boxes: Enclosed workspaces that allow manipulation of air-sensitive or toxic materials in an inert atmosphere, often using gases like argon or nitrogen. - Fume Hoods: These ventilated enclosures protect users from inhaling hazardous fumes and vapors, providing a safe environment for handling volatile substances.
