Solution:

A Ziegler-Natta catalyst, named after Karl Ziegler and Giulio Natta, is a catalyst used in the synthesis of polymers of 1-alkenes (alpha-olefins). The catalyst is used for Ziegler - Natta polymerization.
The Wacker Oxidation is an industrial process, which allows the synthesis of ethanal from ethene by palladium-catalyzed oxidation with oxygen. The catalyst is used for the Wacker process.
The Deacon process is a process used during the manufacture of alkalis (the initial end product was sodium carbonate) by the Leblanc process. The catalyst is used for Deacon's process.
The contact process is the current method of producing sulfuric acid in the high concentrations needed for industrial processes. The catalyst is used for the Contact process.
