Encyclopedia of Catalysis

A definitive A-to-Z reference, Encyclopedia of Catalysis covers the most significant aspects of homogeneous, heterogeneous, asymmetric, biomimetic, biological, and industrial catalysis in one unifying work. Featuring 200 articles, many new and updated, this Second Edition covers general principles that bridge all types of catalysis phenomena, the synthesis, structural and functional characterization of catalysts, application of catalytic reactions, use of computational chemistry in catalysis, reaction engineering and modeling of catalytic processes, and the description of catalytic processes currently practiced. This eight-volume set is a valuable addition to libraries in academia, industry, and government.
