A catalyst is a substance that, even in small quantities, accelerates the rate of a chemical reaction and sometimes allows it to occur at milder conditions (lower temperature and pressure). A good catalyst can sometimes multiply the throughput of an industrial-scale reactor or shave more than 100\u00b0C off of its operating temperature.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2020-07-smarter-harder-microwaves-catalytic-reactions.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Heat smarter, not harder: How microwaves make catalytic reactions more efficient<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many reactions that we use to produce chemical compounds in food, medical, and industrial fields would not be feasible without the use of catalysts.
