Katalizohen

Katalizohen is a term that can refer to a chemical catalyst, a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change. Catalysts work by providing an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy. This can involve the catalyst bonding with reactant molecules, weakening existing bonds, and facilitating the formation of new ones. The catalyst is then regenerated at the end of the reaction cycle. Catalysts are broadly classified into homogeneous and heterogeneous types. Homogeneous catalysts are in the same phase as the reactants, typically dissolved in the same solution. Heterogeneous catalysts, on the other hand, exist in a different phase, often as a solid catalyst with liquid or gaseous reactants. Enzymes are biological catalysts, which are proteins that accelerate biochemical reactions in living organisms. The use of catalysts is widespread in industrial processes, such as in the production of ammonia, sulfuric acid, and plastics, as well as in catalytic converters in automobiles to reduce emissions. The development and application of catalysts are crucial for efficient and sustainable chemical manufacturing.
