Enum: CatalystFormEnum

Enumeration of the physical form/presentation of a catalyst as loaded

into a reactor -- a separate axis from CatalysisResearchFieldEnum

(which describes the catalytic regime, e.g. heterogeneous/homogeneous).

Permissible Values

Value	Meaning	Description
thin_film	VOC4CAT:0000019	A catalyst introduced to the reaction chamber as a thin film on a substrate.
bulk	VOC4CAT:0007015	A catalyst that consists mainly of the active material throughout its volume.
powdered	VOC4CAT:0000017	A catalyst introduced to the reaction chamber as a loose powder.
deposited_sample	VOC4CAT:0000038	A thin film of the catalyst deposited on a substrate for characterization purposes.
supported	VOC4CAT:0007034	A catalyst where the active material is dispersed on a support material.
other	None	Other catalyst form not covered by the above terms.

Slots

Name	Description
catalyst_form	The physical form or presentation of the catalyst as loaded into the reactor (e.g. thin film, bulk, powder, supported). A separate axis from catalyst_type (the catalytic regime).
