Glossary

Carbonylation:

is a group of reactions that introducecarbon monoxideinto organic and inorganic substrates.

Depolymerization:

is opposite chemical reaction of polymerization where linear or structural polymeris decomposed to monomer molecules.

Enzyme:

is a biological catalyst that can alter the rate and specificity of chemical reactions inside cells, bioreactors –generally in reaction systems.

Hydroformylation:

also known as oxo synthesis or oxo process involves the addition of carbon monoxide and hydrogen to an alkene to form an aldehyde containing one more carbon atom than the original alkene.

Hydrogenation:

is chemical reaction between molecular hydrogen and an element or compound usually in the presence of catalyst.

Oxidation-reduction reaction:

also called redox reaction , is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a participating chemical species changes.

Oxidation:

is defined as the loss of electrons or an increase in the oxidation state of an atom by a...
