APPLICATION OF INORGANIC CATALYSTS IN THE UTILIZATION OF INDUSTRIAL WASTE

Industrial growth has led to a sharp rise in waste generation, posing serious environmental and health risks. Conventional disposal methods—such as landfilling and incineration—are often inefficient and harmful. In contrast, inorganic catalysts offer a sustainable and effective approach for treating and converting industrial waste into less harmful or valuable products. This article examines the types, mechanisms, and applications of inorganic catalysts, along with their benefits, challenges, and future prospects. Their use supports pollution reduction and promotes green chemistry and circular economy goals.
