No, catalysts are not consumed in the reactions they facilitate. They help to lower the activation energy required for a reaction to proceed, thereby increasing the reaction rate, but they remain unchanged in form and quantity at the end of the reaction. This means that a catalyst can be used repeatedly in multiple reaction cycles without being depleted.
