Green Chemistry of Recoverable Catalysts

Abstract

This chapter highlights the various aspects of recoverable catalysts, a green concept. Catalysts play a vital role in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Environmental considerations aim toward its recycling and reuse. Recovery of the catalyst after the reaction and its reuse focuses on the sustainable greener approaches in chemical industries. The question is, how effectively the catalyst recovery can be achieved. To address the issue of catalyst regeneration, scientists have developed a wide range of strategies. One approach to classify the catalysts is based on their method of separation, and the majority comes under heterogenized solid-supported catalysts. In this context, the development of new logical solutions for the regeneration and reuse of the catalysts without losing the activity is of prime importance. © 2021, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
