What are Some Common Applications of Catalysis in Pollution Control?
Catalysis is utilized across various sectors to reduce pollution:
Automotive Industry: Catalytic converters in vehicles reduce emissions of CO, NOx, and hydrocarbons. Chemical Industry: Catalysis helps in the production of cleaner fuels and the detoxification of industrial waste streams. Power Plants: Catalytic processes are used to reduce sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions from fossil fuel combustion.
