What Are the Environmental Implications of Sulfur Compounds in Catalysis?
The presence of sulfur compounds in catalytic processes can have significant environmental implications. On one hand, the efficient removal of sulfur from fuels through catalytic processes helps to reduce sulfur dioxide (SO₂) emissions, which are a major cause of air pollution and acid rain. On the other hand, the disposal of spent catalysts containing sulfur compounds poses environmental challenges, necessitating proper waste management and recycling strategies.
