Catalysis

As per available reports about 257 journals, 180 Conferences, 85 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to Catalysis and about 198000 articles are being published on the current trends in Catalysis. In terms of research annually, USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to Catalysis are being carried out. As reported in Wikipedia article, Catalysis is the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction of one or more reactants due to the participation of an additional substance called a catalyst. Unlike other reagents in the chemical reaction, a catalyst is not consumed by the reaction. With a catalyst, less free energy is required to reach the transition state, but the total free energy from reactants to products does not change. A catalyst may participate in multiple chemical transformations. The effect of a catalyst may vary due to the presence of other substances known as inhibitors or poisons (which reduce the catalytic activity) or promoters (which increase the activity). The opposite of a catalyst, a substance that reduces the rate of a reaction, is an inhibitor.

The Journal of Thermodynamics & Catalysis is an academic journal – hosted by OMICS International – a pioneer in open access publishing–and is listed among the top 10 journals in Catalysis. Each year research scientists have noticed a rise in the number of congresses being held in this field. The Journal of Catalysis provides a unique platform to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of medical and life sciences, thus bridging the gap between researchers and young scientists.

OMICS International – a pioneer in organizing international conferences with the great success of previous International Immunology conferences- International Symposiums, OMICS Group is proud to organize the 3rd World Congress on Petrochemistry and Chemical Engineering during Nov 30 - Dec 2, 2015 at Atlanta, USA with a theme “Petrochemistry and Chemical Engineering”. The annual Bioprocess Conference is a remarkable event which brings together a unique and international mix of large and medium medical and clinical research and companies, leading universities and medical research institutions making the conference a perfect platform to share experience, foster collaborations across industry and academia and evaluate emerging innovations around the world.
