Abstract:
A catalyst is a substance which speeds up a reaction, but is chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction. Most of all commercially produced chemical products involve catalysts at some stage in the process of their manufacture. Petroleum refining makes intensive use of catalysis for alkylation, catalytic cracking, naphtha reforming and steam reforming. Even the exhaust from the burning of fossil fuels is treated via catalysis: Catalytic converters, typically composed of platinum and rhodium, break down some of the more harmful byproducts of automobile exhaust. Some of the largest-scale chemicals are produced via catalytic oxidation, often using oxygen. Many other chemical products are generated by large-scale reduction, often via hydrogenation. Bulk polymers derived from ethylene and propylene and polyesters and polyamides are often prepared via catalysis. In this paper, we discuss about uses of catalysts in oil and gas industry.
