Abstract
The concepts of heterogeneous catalysis and catalytic science are introduced, and the tools of the modern catalytic scientist's trade are then briefly described. Six detailed 'case histories' of the important industrial catalytic processes are presented. Emphasis is placed on the application of modern surface science, to scrutinise the catalyst surface and the reaction mechanisms on the molecular scale.Keywords
