Abstract
The use of the term ‘catalytic process’ was proposed by Berzelius in 1836 to describe the increase in the rate of certain chemical reactions under the influence of substances apparently foreign to the process, such as acids in the hydrolysis of starch. The long-known phenomenon has given rise to many researches and is as important in homogeneous phases as in heterogeneous or enzyme kinetics.
