This i just removed

Good morning

I want to know mechanism of hemogenious catalyst reaction on the caustic effect for mercapatane removal in the butane loop

Attention needed

Both this and heterogeneous catalysis could be significantly improved. Is there any appropriate way to flag this up? --WhirlwindChemist (talk) 16:24, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We have focused most of our editing attention on specific areas of TM-base homogeneous catalysis: carbonylation, hydrogenation, hydroformylation, etc. Recall that the most important homogeneous catalysts are not organometallic: H⁺, Lewis acids, Lewis bases are more pervasive. Realization of such broad scope probably scares off would be editors. But go for it!--Smokefoot (talk) 17:18, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article Suggestion

I came to this article from ~~organometallics~~ organometallic chemistry, which mentions homogeneous catalysis in the lead. What I was hoping to find was what homogeneous catalysis was. Suggest a lead section be added to explain the general concept in layman's terms, if the topic can be explained in layman's terms. —Salton Finneger (talk) 17:29, 8 June 2015 (UTC) (edited Salton Finneger (talk) 17:31, 8 June 2015 (UTC))[reply]

Unless you know a fair bit about catalysis.... Just because your teacher (who also has not edited in Wikipedia, it appears) commands you to edit, the standards for these articles are high. So please ask for help on the Talk pages unless you are a subject expert. Cheers, --Smokefoot (talk) 17:27, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Enzymes

The introductory section states:

"Enzymes are examples of homogeneous catalysts."

The section "Contrast with heterogeneous catalysts" at the end of the article states:

"Enzymes possess properties of both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. As such, they are usually regarded as a third, separate category of catalyst."

The fact that enzymes possess properties of both strikes me as so significant that the introductory sentence needs modification -- either removal, or further explanation that enzymes possess both qualities.

This edit calls for a chemist, which I am not.
