What Are the Challenges in Using Catalysis for POPs Degradation?
While catalysis offers promising solutions for the degradation of POPs, several challenges need to be addressed:
1. Selectivity: Catalysts must be selective for POPs without affecting other non-target compounds. 2. Stability: Catalysts must remain stable under operational conditions to be effective over long periods. 3. Scalability: The catalytic processes need to be scalable to treat large volumes of contaminated material effectively.
