What are the Types of Catalysts Used in Waste Treatment?
Various types of catalysts are employed in waste treatment, including:
Homogeneous Catalysts: These are catalysts that exist in the same phase as the reactants, often used in liquid waste treatment. Heterogeneous Catalysts: These exist in a different phase than the reactants. They are widely used in gas and solid waste treatment processes. Biocatalysts: Enzymes or whole cells that catalyze biochemical reactions, often used in the treatment of organic waste.
