What are Some Challenges Faced in the Application of Catalysis in Waste Management?
Despite its advantages, there are several challenges in the application of catalysis in waste management. One major challenge is the development of cost-effective and highly efficient catalysts that can operate under diverse and harsh waste processing conditions. Additionally, the disposal and recycling of spent catalysts pose another challenge, as some catalysts contain precious metals or other toxic components. Research and development are ongoing to address these issues and to develop more sustainable catalytic processes.
