Desorption is a phenomenon where a substance is released from or through the surface.,It is opposite of sorption process..Catalyst can be any chemical entity which helps in increasing the rate of reaction ,but they donot itself take part in reaction i.e they just support the chemical reaction to occur effectively

Catalysis is the process of increasing the rate of a chemical reaction by adding a substance known as a catalyst[1] (/ˈkætəlɪst/), which is not consumed in the catalyzed reaction and can continue to act repeatedly. Because of this, only very small amounts of catalyst are required to alter the reaction rate in principle.[2]
In general, chemical reactions occur faster in the presence of a catalyst because the catalyst provides an alternative reaction mechanism with a lower activation energy than the non-catalyzed mechanism. In catalyzed mechanisms, the catalyst usually reacts to form a temporary intermediate, which then regenerates the original catalyst in a cyclic process.
A substance which provides a mechanism with a higher activation energy does not decrease the rate because the reaction can still occur by the non-catalyzed route.[3] An added substance which does reduce the reaction rate is not considered a catalyst[1] but a reaction inhibitor
