What Are Some Industrial Applications of Catalysis to Combat Pollution?
Catalysis is widely applied in various industries to combat pollution:
Automotive Industry: Catalytic converters in vehicles reduce emissions of CO, NOx, and hydrocarbons. Chemical Industry: Catalysts are used in processes like the Haber-Bosch process for ammonia production, which has been optimized to minimize emissions. Petrochemical Industry: Catalysts help in the desulfurization of fuels, reducing SOx emissions. Power Plants: SCR and other catalytic techniques are employed to reduce NOx emissions from power generation.
