Catalysis

Catalysis (/kəˈtæləsɪs/) is the process of altering the rate of a chemical reaction by adding a substance known as a catalyst (/ˈkætəlɪst/). Catalysts are not consumed in the reaction and remain unchanged after it. Often only very small amounts of catalyst are required. Catalysts generally react with one or more reactants to form intermediates that subsequently give the final reaction product, in the process regenerating the catalyst.
