Abstract
The interdisciplinary nature of heterogeneous catalysis creates the need for a glossary to make access to the literature easier by defining most of the terms frequently used in catalytic science and technology. In addition, the glossary should contain a brief description of experimental techniques commonly used in catalysis and the type of information obtained from them. Some terms have more than one definition, but this glossary presents only the definitions related to heterogeneous catalysis. although some of them apply to other forms of catalysis.
