Catalysis and Chemical Engineering Global Conference

Catalysis is widely used in numerous industries to initiate and facilitate reactions that are fundamental to the synthesis of products that include various ordinary and sophisticated consumer goods as well as pharmaceuticals. This session entitled Catalysis Applications that describes the importance of catalysis in industrial and Environmental processes, in specification to the effects on health and environment.

The chemical and pharmaceutical industries are some of the most important beneficiaries of catalysis through enhanced efficiency in the synthesis of drugs through catalytic reactions that would otherwise take longer and are expensive. Catalysts can be used in pharmaceuticals to choose certain types of reactions beneficial to the action of a certain drug, this would increase the rate of production and the availability of important drugs in different parts of the world.

Also, the concept of catalysis is pivotal in establishing green chemistry strategies that help to minimize chemical wastes and energy usage, the first victory on the way to environmentally friendly industrial activity. Environmental catalysis is another broad category that supports methods that help purify air and water.

For example, catalytic converters are used to minimize a car’s dangerous emissions by changing toxic gases into less dangerous substances prior to their dispersion in the environment. Catalysis is also used in the industrial waste treatment since the pollutants can be broken down optimally so as to produce minimal harm to the ecosystems. Essentially, all these advancements are very important in relation to improving and surmounting some of the challenges that are of public health concern since they improve on the general environmental cleanness as well as safety.
