Heterogeneous radiation catalysis

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-005249",
  "term": "Heterogeneous radiation catalysis",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A form of radiation catalysis where the catalyst exists in a different phase from the reactants and products. The process involves the acceleration of a chemical reaction by ionizing radiation in the presence of a solid catalyst, which provides a surface for the reaction to occur. This contrasts with homogeneous radiation catalysis, where the catalyst is in the same phase as the reactants.",
