Abstract
Efficient, economical, and environmental friendly chemical production usually needs the utilization of catalysis to run at rates that are acceptable. Most of the western standard of living is based on the ability of the chemical industry to convert available raw materials effectively into fuels, chemicals and applicable energy. It is crucial to know the definition of catalysis. Catalyst is defined as a substance that takes part and speed up the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed by the reaction.
