Catalytic cracking (and catalytic converters in car exhausts) use platinum, IIRC.
Look up Eugene Houdry (1892 - 1962)
The production of H2SO4 uses V2O5 (????, vague memory). You do not deal directly with H2SO4, but you deal with substances in which H2SO4 was used to produce those substances.
There's a catalyst used in the Haber Process, I think.

For those who drive, the catalytic converter on their vehicle would be something that you experience every day. And the fuel you put into your car was derived from oil, and catalysts were used to break down the larger oil molecules into smaller molecules useful in gasoline.
Chlorophyll is also a catalyst, and that is something everyone experiences every minute of the day. At least the result of chlorophyll acting on CO2.
Many drugs on the market work by inhibiting a process. So ACE inhibitors, like Captopril are used by many people. Not me, but by many to control high blood pressure.
In treating ulcers, drugs known as proton pump inhibitors are often prescribed, and examples are Prilosec and Nexium. Again, not by me but by many people.
