	Catalyst - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Catalysts cannot make energetically unfavorable reactions possible — they have no effect on the chemical equilibrium of a reaction because the rate of both the forward and the reverse reaction are equally affected (see also thermodynamics).
		Heterogeneous catalysts are present in different phases from the reactants (for example, a solid catalyst in a liquid reaction mixture), whereas homogeneous catalysts are in the same phase (for example, a dissolved catalyst in a liquid reaction mixture).
		Carbon dioxide and nitrogen are desorbed from the surface and emitted as relatively harmless gases:

	Lindlar catalyst - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The catalyst is prepared by reduction of palladium chloride in the presence of a slurry of calcium carbonate followed by adding lead acetate.
		The Lindlar catalyst is effective with hydrogen in the organic reduction of alkynes to alkenes.
		Deactivation of the catalyst with quinoline makes the catalyst very selective and the hydrogenation is not carried through to the alkane.

		Synthesis of dialkyl oxalates by the heterogeneous catalyzed oxidative carbonylation of liquid monohydric saturated alcohols of from 1 to 20 carbon atoms with carbon monoxide and oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a catalytic amount of a catalyst comprising palladium or a salt thereof in combination with a crystalline vanadium-phosphorus-titanium containing compound.
		The Pd-V-P-Ti containing catalyst is in the heterogeneous state in the reaction at reaction conditions and while vapor phase reactions employing a bed of catalyst may be employed the reactions are generally carried out with a slurry of the catalyst mixture, supported or unsupported, in the reactant alcohol.
		Generally the proportions of catalyst used in the reaction as a slurry mixture with alcohol will be equivalent to between about 0.05 to 5 weight percent based on the alcohol employed and is preferably employed in amounts of between 0.5 to 2.5 percent by weight of the alcohol employed.

		The highest MIBK yield was obtained on the 0.1% Pd/HTC catalyst, indicating that minimal hydrogenation activity was required for the MO-to-MIBK reaction.
		Acetone conversion was directly related to the acidity/basicity of the catalyst, which were properties of the support rather than the metal.
		Consequently, the yield of MIBK would be expected to show a maximum with-reaction temperature on any multi-functional acetone condensation catalyst, but the position of this maximum would be determine by the balance between the acidic/basic and hydrogenation properties of a particular catalyst.

		The conventional view in heterogeneous catalysis had been that H atoms adsorbed on the surface of the catalyst carry out the hydrogenation reactions.
		Essentially the bond strength between a subsurface H and the Ni catalyst is weaker than that between a surface H and the Ni catalyst, due to greater nuclei-nuclei repulsion experienced by subsurface H atoms.

		[0012] However, the heterogeneous catalysts prepared hitherto are in a powdered form and they are subject to reaction and separation processes together with the reactants, and thus they cause a problem of being adhered to the inside walls of pipes and equipment.
		[0015] However, these processes have numerous difficulties in the separation of catalysts because they use homogeneous catalysts or catalysts in a powdered form, and they also have difficulties in economic aspects because a certain amount of catalyst must be continuously supplied to the reaction system in a continuous operation.
