What Types of Catalysts are Used in Environmental Applications?
Several types of catalysts are used to mitigate environmental contaminants, including: - Heterogeneous Catalysts: Solid catalysts that facilitate reactions on their surface. Examples include zeolites and metal oxides. - Homogeneous Catalysts: Catalysts that exist in the same phase as the reactants. Examples include transition metal complexes. - Biocatalysts: Enzymes and microorganisms that catalyze biochemical reactions.
