`CATALYST
`
`catalase. An oxidizing enzyme occurring in both plant
`and animal cells. It decomposes hydrogen peroxide.

`posing residual hydrogen peroxide in bleaching and
`oxidizing processes.

`
`catalysis.-0ne of the most important phenomena in
`nature, catalysis is the "loosening" of the chemical
`bonds of two (or more) reactants by another sub-
`stance, in such a way that a fractionally small per-
`centage of the latter can greatly accelerate the rate of
`the reaction, while remaining unconsumed. (See cat-
`alyst). Thus one part by volume of catalyst can acti—
`vate thousands of parts of reactants. Though the
`mechanism of their action is not completely known,
`the electronic configuration of the surface molecules
`of the catalyst is often the critical factor. The sur-
`face irregularities give rise to so-called “active points,”
`at which intermediate compounds can form. Most
`industrial catalysis is performed by finely divided
`transition metals or their oxides.
`Solid catalysts may combine chemically (bond) at
`the surface with one or more of the reactants. This
`is known as chemisorption, and occurs on only a
`small portion of the catalyst surface (i.e., at the ac-
`tive points); it results in changing the chemical na—
`ture of the chemisorbed molecules. Catalysis of chem—
`ical reactions by surfaces must proceed by chemi-
`sorption of at least one of the reactants.
`See
`also catalyst;
`chemisorption; hydrogenation;
`enzyme.
`
`catalysis, heterogeneous. A catalytic reaction in which
`the reactants and the catalyst comprise two separate
`phases, e.g., gases ovor solids, or liquids containing
`finely divided solids as a disperse phase.
`
`catalysis, homogeneous. A catalytic reaction in which
`the reactants and the catalyst comprise only one
`phase, e.g., an acid solution catalyzing other liquid
`components.
`
`catalyst. Any substance of which a. fractional per-
`centage notably affects the rate of a chemical reac-
`tion without itself being consumed or undergoing a
`chemical change. Most catalysts accelerate reactions,
`but a few retard them" (negative catalysts or inhib-
`itors). Catalysts may be inorganic,“ organic, or a
`complex of organic groups and metal halides (sec
`catalyst, stereospecific). They may be either gases,
`liquids, or solids. In some cases their action is dc~
`structive and undesirable, as in the oxidation of iron
`to its oxide, which is catalyzed by water vapor, and
`similar types of corrosion. The -life of an industrial
`catalyst varies from 1000 to 10,000 hours, after
`which it must be replaced or regenerated.
`Note: Though it
`is not a “substance,” light in the
`visible wavelengths can act as a catalyst, as in photo-
`synthesis and other photochemical reactions.

`to which positively charged ions migrate when a cur-
`rent is passed, as in electroplating baths. The cathode
`is the source of free electrons (cathode rays) in a
`vacuum tube. In a primary cell (battery), the cathode
`is the positive electrode. See also anode; electrode.

`
`Catalysts are highly specific in their application;
`they are widely used in the petroleum-refining, syn-
`thetic organic chemical and pharmaceutical indus-
`tries. For details of application, see the preceding
`list. Since the activity of a solid catalyst
`is often
`centered in a small fraction of its surface, the num—
`ber of active points can be increased by adding pro~
`moters (q.v.), which increase the surface area in one
`way or another, e.g., by increasing porosity. Cata— “Cat-0x3“ Proprietary catalytic oxidaton process
`lytic activity is decreased by substances that act as
`for removing sulfur dioxide and fly ash from stack
`gases and converting the former to sulfuric acid. It
`poisons (q.v.), which clog and weaken the catalyst
`surface, e.g.,
`lead in the catalytic converters used
`involves passing the flue gases at 900°F (1) through
`to control exhaust emissions.
`an electrostatic precipitator, (2) through a converter
`where sulfur dioxide is oxidized to the trioxide with
`vanadium pentoxide, (3) through heat exchangers to
`cool the gases so that the SO; combines with water
`vapor, and (4) through an absorbing tower which
`condenses the sulfuric acid. Cbmmercial acid (70%)
`is made in this way. See also sulfuric acid.
`caulking compound. See sealant.
`
`Besides inorganic substances, there are many or-
`ganic catalysts that are vital in the life processes of
`plants and animals. These are called enzymes (q.v.)
`and are essential in metabolic mechanisms, e.g., pep-
`sin in digestin. Vitamins and hormones also have
`mtalytic properties. See also catalysis; catalyst,
`stcrc05pccific; enzyme.
`catalyst, negative. See inhibitor.
`
`'
`
`catalyst, organic. See enzyme.
`
`stereospecific. An organometallic catalyst
`catalyst,
`which permits control of the molecular geometry of
`polymeric molecules. Examples are Ziegler and Natta
`catalysts derived from a transition metal halide and a
`metal alkyl, or similar substances. There are many
`patented catalysts of this general type, most of them
`developed in connection with the production of poly
`propylene, polyethylene, or other polyolefins. See also
`polymer,
`stereospecific; Natta
`catalyst; Ziegler

`sive or irritating effect on living tissue.
`caustic baryta. See barium hydroxide.
`causticized ash. Combinations of soda ash and caustic
`soda in definite proportions marketed for purposes
`where an alkali is needed ranging in causticity be-
`tween the two materials. Causticized ash is usually
`designated by its caustic soda content and the range

`stoichiometry. The branch of chemistry and chemical
`engineering that deals with the quantities of sub-
`stances that enter into and are
`roduced by chemi-
`cal
`reactions. For example, wren methane unites
`with oxygen in complete combustion, 16 grams of
`methane require 64 grams of oxygen. At the same
`time 44 grams of carbon dioxide and 36 grams of
`water are, formed as reaction products. Every chem—
`ical
`reaction has .its characteristic proportions.
`The methods of obtaining these from chemical formu—
`las, equations, atomic weights and molecular weights,
`and determination of what and how much is used
`and produced in chemical processes is
`the major
`concern of stoichiometry.
