What Strategies are Used to Minimize Heavy Metal Residues?
Several strategies can be employed to minimize heavy metal residues:
1. Catalyst Design: Using supported catalysts or encapsulated catalysts can help reduce leaching. 2. Reaction Optimization: Optimizing reaction conditions to minimize catalyst degradation. 3. Purification Techniques: Employing purification methods such as filtration, precipitation, and adsorption to remove heavy metals from the final product. 4. Use of Green Catalysts: Developing and employing green catalysts made from non-toxic and abundant materials.
