Abstract
This article reviews catalytic chemical, petroleum, and environmental technology which was successfully commercialized during the decade of the 80's within the USA. This survey is condensed into four major tables (Chemical Processes, Emission Control Catalysts, Polymers, and Petroleum Refining and Petrochemical Processes) providing over 90 specific examples of newly commercialized catalytic technology with extensive references. This review demonstrates that catalytic chemistry clearly continued to play a major role in enhancing a number of businesses on a worldwide basis. In addition some perspectives are provided for future developments in catalyst technology during the next decade.
