Industrial Catalysts
Iron: Used in the Haber Process to make ammonia.
Platinum: Used in catalytic converters in cars.
Nickel: Used in the hydrogenation of vegetable oils.
Manganese(IV) oxide: Catalyses the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
Industrial Link: Catalysts are essential for making chemical processes profitable by lowering energy costs.
