Nature of Solid Catalyst
Heterogeneous catalysis is extensively used in chemical industry. Hence, development, selection and application of solid catalysts forms an important area in surface chemistry studies. The nature of the solid catalyst has profound effects on heterogeneous catalytic reactions. Solid catalysts can be metals, semiconducting oxides and sulphides, insulating oxides and acids. These substances can be used in the pure form or in the form of mixtures. The catalysts can be crystalline, microcrystalline or amorphous.
