Catalysis: History & Products

Catalysis (/kəˈtælɪsɪs/, kə-TAL-iss-iss) is the increase in rate of a chemical reaction due to an added substance known as a catalyst (/ˈkætəlɪst/ KAT-əl-ist). Catalysts are not consumed by the reaction and remain unchanged after the reaction. If the reaction is rapid and the catalyst is recycled quickly, a very small amount of catalyst often suffices…
