Several key risks are associated with catalysis, including:
Chemical hazards: Many catalysts and reactants are hazardous, posing risks such as toxicity, flammability, and corrosivity. Operational risks: These include equipment failures, process upsets, and human errors during the catalytic process. Economic risks: Fluctuations in the availability and cost of raw materials can impact the economic viability of catalysis processes. Environmental risks: Improper handling and disposal of catalysts and by-products can lead to significant environmental pollution.
