catalytic-processes

Vocabulary Word

Definition

'Catalytic processes' are like kitchen helpers that speed up cooking. In this, a substance known as a catalyst is used, which helps speed up a chemical reaction but remains unchanged itself at the end.

Examples in Different Contexts

In chemical engineering, 'catalytic processes' refer to chemical reactions accelerated by a catalyst. A chemical engineer might describe, 'Catalytic processes are essential for manufacturing many products, from fuels to plastics, efficiently and sustainably.'

Practice Scenarios

Business

Scenario:

We need to improve the speed and efficiency of our chemical reactions in our new product line.

Response:

By improving our catalyst and catalytic processes, we can enhance the rate of reaction and thus increase our output.

Tech

Scenario:

The quality of our semiconductor materials needs enhancement, perhaps by revising the production method.

Response:

We could consider using new materials or catalytic processes to enhance the purity and performance of our semiconductors.
