The global catalysts in petroleum refining, chemicals, and polymer synthesis market size is projected to register a high CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing investments in industries that employ catalysts.
Catalysis plays a crucial role in the refining of petroleum as most of its processes are catalytic. Petroleum fractions produced through fractional distillation of crude oil do not fulfil the quality standards to be used as fuels. Catalytic reforming is a process in which high-octane liquid products called reformates is extracted from petrol refinery naphtha’s distilled from crude oil. Usage of bio-catalysts as enzymes for the process of vitro-polymer synthesis is a fairly new stream that are utilized since last two decades. Enzymatic catalysis is ecologically method yet allowing the synthesis of several natural & unnatural polymers having well-defined arrangements with controlled region-selectivity, stereo-chemistry, and chemo-selectivity.
