What Measures Can Be Taken to Improve Catalyst Safety and Sustainability?
Improving catalyst safety and sustainability involves several strategies: 1. Material Innovation: Developing non-toxic, earth-abundant, and recyclable catalytic materials. 2. Process Optimization: Enhancing catalytic processes to increase efficiency and reduce waste. 3. Lifecycle Assessment: Conducting comprehensive lifecycle assessments to understand and mitigate the environmental impacts of catalysts from production to disposal. 4. Regulation and Standards: Implementing strict regulations and standards for the safe handling, storage, and disposal of catalysts. 5. Worker Training: Providing thorough training for workers on the risks associated with catalysts and the necessary safety protocols.
