Catalysis

Warburg had shown that this yellow pigment is involved in catalysis of the oxidation of hexose-monophosphoric acid during yeast metabolism. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Inevitably, therefore, I was compelled to the view that the nature of catalysis is not be sought in the inducement of ❋ Unknown (1966)

I therefore took the opportunity offered to me by many reports, etc. to combat those injurious hypotheses and draw attention to the incomparably greater effectiveness of the simple definition of catalysis based on measurable facts which states that catalysis is a chemical acceleration brought about by the presence of substances which do not appear in the reaction product. ❋ Unknown (1966)

Even the term catalysis which, after being for long misunderstood, nay despised, is now back in favour, we owe to ❋ Unknown (1966)

Berzelius introduced the name catalysis instead, with the active but unconsumed substance being termed the catalytic substance or catalyst, and the cause underlying the phenomena catalytic force. ❋ Unknown (1966)

At the same time biology, too, gave closer attention to the problem of catalysis, which is, of course, one of the organism's main agencies for an enormous variety of purposes, and again the kinetic definition proved superior to all other attempted generalizations, some of which were more figurative than objective. ❋ Unknown (1966)

Its necessity emerged quite clearly at that meeting, for in the chemical literature of those days it is not uncommon to encounter the comment "that the name catalysis is not an explanation of these processes", and that comment was to be taken as a reason for rejecting the concept in question. ❋ Unknown (1966)

“Water-surface interactions are ubiquitous in nature and play an important role in many technological applications such as catalysis and corrosion,” said Greg Kimmel, staff scientist at the Department of Energy lab and lead author of a paper in the current issue Oct. 15 advance online edition of Physical Review Letters. ❋ Unknown (2005)

The method has found several important fields of application, for instance in the study of surface-chemistry processes such as catalysis and corrosion. ❋ Unknown (1981)

After consistent, continuous research he successfully formulated a principle to describe the nature of catalysis which is satisfactory for the present state of knowledge, namely that catalytic action consists in the modification, by the acting substance, the catalyst, of the rate at which a chemical reaction occurs, without that substance itself being part of the end-products formed. ❋ Unknown (1966)

This year's prize was specifically awarded to a scholar working in the field of catalysis—substances that accelerate the creation of molecules. ❋ Melanie Grayce West (2011)

Dr. Ornich goes on to say, "If we can use the experience of suffering as a catalysis for transforming our lives, to do the things that matter most to us; to let go of what other people think that we should be doing so that we can do what resonates with our own self and our own soul, then that experience can be healing, even if it is not necessarily curative." ❋ Lisa Firestone (2010)

The editorial chose to call it a fiasco, but Range is in active discussions with alternative biofuels companies to use their gasification facilities with biochemical syngas catalysis companies and other biofuels technology companies. ❋ Unknown (2011)

This gasifier is valuable and can be used with newer biofermentation-based backend processes, an advancing technology that has superseded the chemical catalysis backend originally planned by Range. ❋ Unknown (2011)

The award of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1909 to Ostwald was chiefly in recognition of his work on catalysis and the rates of chemical reactions. ❋ Unknown (2010)

His more recent research on catalysis and solar energy has propelled him to a leading position in the clean-energy field in China. ❋ Jonathan Watts (2010)
