Catalyst

A substance which aids or promotes a chemical reaction without forming part of the final product. It enables the reaction to take place faster or at a lower temperature, and remains unchanged at the end of the reaction. In industrial processes, nevertheless, the catalyst must be changed periodically to maintain economic production.
