industrial catalysis

Catalytic reactions are classified as homogeneous catalysis or heterogeneous catalysis. When a catalyst mixes homogenously with the reactants and forms a single phase it is called a homogenous catalyst. When a catalyst exists in a different phase from that of the reactants it i..

Shape-selective catalysis are those reactions that depend on the pore structure of the catalyst and the size of the reactant and product molecules. In such reactions, zeolites are used as catalysts. Zeolites are microporous aluminosilicates of the general formula M x / n [(AlO 2 ) x (SiO ..

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 reactio..

. Catalysis involves reactions where catalysts are used. Catalysts are used to accelerate the rate of reaction. Catalysts accelerate the rate of reaction by providing an alternate reaction pathway in which the activation energy is lower. Homogenous catalysis involves catalysts w..

>Green chemistry encompasses all aspects and types of chemical process including synthesis, catalysis, analysis, monitoring, separations and reaction conditions, which reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous substances. Green chemistry technologies can be categorized into o..
