Implementing least privilege in catalysis is crucial for several reasons:
1. Safety: Catalysts often involve reactive or hazardous substances. Limiting the quantities and conditions under which these substances are used minimizes the risk of accidents. 2. Efficiency: Using only the necessary amount of catalyst ensures that reactions proceed efficiently without unnecessary waste. 3. Cost-effectiveness: Catalysts can be expensive. Least privilege helps in reducing operational costs by avoiding excessive use of these materials. 4. Environmental Impact: Minimizing the use of catalysts and reactive agents reduces the environmental footprint of chemical processes.
