catalytic
adj. causing catalysis, causing an acceleration in the rate of chemical reactions


Wikipedia English The Free EncyclopediaDownload this dictionary
Catalysis
In chemistry and biology, catalysis is the acceleration (increase in rate) of a chemical reaction by means of a substance called a catalyst, which is itself not consumed by the overall reaction. More generally, one may at times call anything that accelerates a process, a "catalyst" (for example, a "catalyst for political change"). The word is derived from the Greek noun κατάλυσις, related to the verb καταλύειν, meaning to annul or to untie or to pick up.
