Positive catalysts or promoters are those types of catalysts that are responsible for the acceleration process of the evolution of chemical reactions. Catalysis is the process by which the speed of a chemical reaction is increased or decreased; thanks to the substance which is called a catalyst. On the other hand, a catalyst can be defined as those enzymes that have the ability to modify the speed of a chemical reaction, either by increasing or decreasing it; process to which catalysis is assigned, as mentioned above. It should be noted that most of the existing catalysts are known as "positive catalysts", also called "promoters"; thanks to your actionspeed up, increase or precipitate chemical reactions.
Opposites to positive catalysts or promoters are those catalysts that reduce or slow down the speed of chemical reactions, these are called "negative catalysts", also known as "inhibitors"; and those responsible for deactivating catalysis are called catalytic poisons.
In each of the industrial processes, the speed of production and the sum of products must be related; At the time, in which the chemical processes are carried out, it must be guaranteed that they are efficient in an energy way, but also that they provide an economic and clean alternative in order to make those industrial processes competitive; and for this purpose is that each of the existing catalysts are used. After applying a given chemical method in the industrial process that is carried out, the catalysts can be used, in order to increase the speed of the reactions that are needed and obtain an increase in the speeds in the industrial process.
