Catalysis
!!! This course is not yet finished !!!
Catalysis is present in most of the chemical processes that surround us in nature and that make life possible. We learned to use catalysis to produce most of our materials and fine chemicals. Finally, we are dependent on catalysis in production fertilizers that we use to make most of our food. Hence, as chemists we must understand the principles and potentials of this powerful discipline. This course will give you an introduction on overview of catalysis in all important aspects.
