What are the benefits of Catalysis in waste management under RCRA?
Catalysis offers several benefits in the context of RCRA:
Reduction of Hazardous Waste: Catalytic processes can transform toxic compounds into less harmful substances, mitigating the risks associated with hazardous waste disposal. Energy Efficiency: Catalysts often operate under milder conditions compared to traditional methods, resulting in lower energy consumption. Resource Recovery: Catalysts can facilitate the recovery of valuable materials such as metals and organic compounds from waste, promoting a circular economy. Pollution Control: Catalytic converters are widely used to reduce emissions of harmful pollutants from industrial processes and vehicles.
