    The document discusses a lecture about an explosion at the OCNB plant and catalytic steps. It provides information on catalysts, how they affect selectivity and yield, and the steps in a catalytic reaction including adsorption, surface reaction, and the rate limiting step. It also discusses octane numbers and catalytic reforming.

    Catalysts and Catalysis
    A Catalyst is a substance that affects the
    rate of chemical reaction but emerges
    from the process unchanged.
    Catalysis is the occurrence, study, and use
    of catalysts and catalytic processes.
    Approximately 1/3 of the GNP of materials
    produced in the U.S. involves a catalytic
    process.
    Catalysts affect both
    Selectivity and Yeild
    Steps in a Catalytic Reaction
    Active Site
    • Reactions are not catalyzed over the
    entire surface but only at certain active
    sites or centers that result from
    unsaturated atoms in the surface.
    • An active site is a point on the surface
    that can form strong chemical bonds with
    an adsorbed atom or molecule.

    The Surface Reaction Step
