这篇概念文章的范围是通过从最近的文献中选取的几个例子来证明，多相催化是目前实现能源，化学和材料生产资源可持续利用以及保护和恢复我们的环境的重要工具。使用非均相催化剂生产燃料和化学品可减少能源需求，并通过提高化石和可再生资源转化的活性和选择性，最大限度地减少不可回收废物的形成。它现在是处理空气和水中污染物的基本工具。还强调了光催化工艺处理空气和水中有毒化合物的效率。大气中矿物粉尘对污染物的破坏表明了多相催化过程在全球环境保护中发挥的重要作用。
The scope of this concept article is to demonstrate through few selected examples taken from recent literature that heterogeneous catalysis is presently an essential tool to achieve a sustainable use of resources for energy, chemical, and material production and to preserve and rehabilitate our environment. Using heterogeneous catalysts for the production of fuels and chemicals reduce the energy demand and minimize the formation of non-recyclable wastes by increasing the activity and selectivity of fossil and renewable resource conversion. It is now the essential tool for the treatment of pollutants in air and water. The efficiency of photocatalytic processes for the treatment of toxic compounds in air and water is also highlighted. The destruction of pollutants by mineral dust in the atmosphere demonstrates the major role that heterogeneous catalytic processes plays for global environmental preservation.
