............................................................................................ 177 S ,20-"3!2'-, The phenomenon of catalysis has been utilized by mankind for many centuries. However, it wasn’t until 1811 that Kirchhof conducted the first formal experiment on catalysis. He found that sugar was formed from starch in the presence of a small amount of sulfuric acid which could be recovered after the reaction.1 Davy discovered that a hot platinum wire maintained the combustion of alcohol or ether vapors in the presence of air without the metal being chemically changed.2 These findings finally led to the invention of the miner’s safety-lamp.3 Soon after, this heterogeneous process was also described by his cousin who prepared
