catalyst
Any substance of which a small proportion notably affects the reaction rate of a chemical reaction without itself being changed or consumed (see catalysis). One molecule may transform several million reactant molecules a minute. Gaseous, liquid, or solid, catalysts may be inorganic compounds, organic compounds, or complex combinations. They tend to be highly specific, reacting with only one substance or a small set of substances. Substances that alter them or block reactants' access to them may inhibit (poison) them. Catalysts are essential to virtually all industrial chemical reactions, especially in petroleum refining and synthetic organic chemical manufacturing. Most solid catalysts are fine-grained transition elements (metals) or their oxides. In a car's catalytic converter, the platinum catalyst converts unburned hydrocarbons and nitrogen compounds to products harmless to the environment. Water, especially salt water, catalyzes oxidation (see oxidation-reduction) and corrosion. Enzymes are among the most active and selective catalysts known.
