ROBERT TAYLOR U6JW.
A Catalyst is a substance that alters the rate of a reaction. The catalyst
remains unchanged at the end of the reaction. The process is called catalysis.
In this report I aim going to explain the role of catalysts in chemical
reactions and their importance in industry. I will also outline the problems
associated with the use of some catalysts and discuss, using appropriate
examples, new developments in this area which will help reduce damage to the
environment.
The process of catalysis is essential to the modern day manufacturing industry.
Ninety per cent, over a trillion dollars' worth, of manufactured items are
produced with the help of catalysts every year. It is therefore logical that
scientists are constantly searching......
