The subject is focused on the description of the functions of catalysts, their general properties and mechanism of action. The
emphasis of the course is on the characterization of heterogeneous catalysts, both from a spectroscopic and microscopic point of
view, as well as from the point of view of evaluating chemical activity. Special emphasis is placed on the relationship between the
spectroscopic properties and the observed activity of the catalyst.The course includes examples of the most important applications of
catalysis in industry.

A lot of supporting material is available for studying catalysis. Besides the recommended books on catalysis there is a plenty of information available under the key word "catalysis" in the electronic databases in the CIS (Central Information System) of the VSCHT. For applied catalysis, the most recommended is the "Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry". Last update: Hladíková Jana (03.01.2018)
