Design of catalysts, characterization, kinetics and mechanisms of reactions, deactivation/regeneration

Abstract

Catalysis is described as the acceleration of chemical reactions through the participation of unknown substances, known as catalysts. Catalysts usually exist as liquids or solids, but some may appear as gases. The appropriation amount of catalyst aids in prompting the thermodynamic rate of a reaction more attainable, but does not alter the composition of the thermodynamic equilibrium.
