Many industries benefit from catalysis, including:
Petrochemical Industry: Catalysts are used in refining processes such as cracking and reforming to produce fuels and chemicals. Pharmaceutical Industry: Catalysts are essential for synthesizing complex molecules in drug production. Food Industry: Catalysis is used in hydrogenation processes to convert oils into fats. Environmental Sector: Catalysts are used in pollution control technologies like catalytic converters to reduce emissions from vehicles and industrial processes.
