We may, then, compare the catalyst to what is known as "a good mixer" in society.

A few years ago, he and his assistant, James Collier, turned their attention toward discovering a catalyst which would do for the metabolic reactions in animal life what his light rays did for plants.
Agreed, but suppose that you could so regulate the dose of your catalyst that its effect would last for only one one-hundredth of a second.
Catalysts is the name of a chemical reaction consisting essentially of a decomposition and a new combination effected by means of a catalyst which acts on the compound bodies in question, but which goes through the reaction itself unchanged.
We have found it in the so-called gold catalyst principle, and we now have a practical, economical second-stage drive.

As Thane had guessed, the use of gold in the catalyst principle gave Candar pause, but only momentarily.
Now the primary determinant, catalyst or sensitizer of the growth of the long bones is the anterior pituitary.
It is par excellence the great catalyst of energy in the body.
A catalyst is an intermediary like the trace of water, which will bring about an explosion between dry oxygen and hydrogen that without it have stayed inert with the strongest currents of electricity.

Indeed, Secretary Symington proved to be the catalyst that the Army had lacked.
The catalyst for the sudden shift away from these sentiments and practices was the Korean War.
Hence, the surface adsorption of reacting bodies by a colloidal catalyst may have a very important influence in decreasing the time required to bring the reacting molecules into intimate contact, and so increasing the velocity of the reaction.
But the colloidal condition of the catalyst may also aid in decreasing the "chemical resistance" which tends to slow up the reaction.
We reinvented government, transforming it into a catalyst for new ideas that stress both opportunity and responsibility, and give our people the tools to solve their own problems.
And we all realize that our responsibility to be the catalyst for peace in the region does not end with the successful conclusion of this war.

I had never heard of this George Prince, though I was familiar with the Federated Catalyst Corporation, of course.
His instruments, and the information he had from the former explorers, had enabled him to pick up the catalyst vein with only one month of search.
An underofficial of the Earth Federated Catalyst Corporation.
It had been a similar acknowledgement three years ago that had been the catalyst of his self declared quasi-retirement.
Think of this: a Lhari ship of our own to study, to know how it works, to see the catalyst and find out where it comes from, to read their records and star routes.
The Lhari have just been saying that to justify their refusal to give us the secret of the catalyst that generates the warp-drive frequencies!
You know we can build ships as good as the Lhari ships, but we don't know anything about the rare catalyst they use for warp-drive fuel.
You do not know where we secure thecatalyst your people seek.
There was, of course, no question of sending him to a "prison planet"; public opinion would have crucified any government that suggested punishment for the man who had discovered a human world with deposits of Catalyst A.
The catalyst which was necessary for the final reaction would be brought to him by Polter.
He noticed that a corner of the drop was seething--but only a corner, as if the heat were sharply bounded in that direction and perhaps as if the catalyst were only transforming the water to fuel a bit at a time.
Further than that, in the way of engine hygiene, Ernie's strictly kitchen mechanics did not go, but he felt that a catalyst used in pinches shouldn't be too particular about contaminants.
A-F Catalyst should generally be renewed when objective tests show fuel quality has deteriorated 50 per cent.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "catalyst" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
