The economic significance of catalysis is enormous because most industrial chemical processes are catalytic. The use of heterogeneous catalysts and their importance have grown in recent years as a result of the economic and environmental benefits it has, compared to homogeneous catalysts. In that sense, a study deals with the use of catalytic supports on which active phases are deposited, is also developed. This review focuses on the most widely used catalytic supports, zeolite and clays. Among the topics discussed in this report are characteristics, types, synthesis and applications of the catalyst support referred above.
