What are the Solutions to Address These Challenges?
To address the challenges of raw material availability, researchers and industries are exploring several strategies:
Material Substitution: Developing catalytic processes that use more abundant and less expensive materials, such as replacing platinum with nickel in certain reactions. Recycling: Implementing recycling technologies to recover and reuse precious metals from spent catalysts. Green Chemistry: Utilizing principles of green chemistry to design more sustainable catalytic processes that minimize environmental impact. Resource Efficiency: Improving the efficiency of catalytic processes to reduce the overall consumption of raw materials.
