What Strategies are Used to Minimize Waste in Catalysis?
Several strategies can be employed to minimize waste in catalytic processes:
Optimizing Reaction Conditions: Adjusting temperature, pressure, and concentration to enhance efficiency and selectivity. Recycling Catalysts: Developing methods to regenerate and reuse spent catalysts. Green Catalysis: Using biodegradable and non-toxic catalysts to reduce environmental impact. Process Intensification: Integrating multiple steps into a single process to minimize waste and energy consumption.
