What Are the Challenges in Implementing Catalysis for Green Chemistry?
While catalysis offers numerous benefits, there are challenges to its widespread adoption in green chemistry:
Cost of Catalysts: Some catalysts, especially those containing precious metals, can be expensive. Scalability: Translating laboratory-scale catalytic processes to industrial scales can be challenging. Recycling and Reuse: Efficiently recovering and reusing catalysts, particularly homogeneous ones, is often difficult. Environmental Impact: The production and disposal of some catalysts may still pose environmental risks.
