Description
Encompassing an integrated approach to the various aspects of catalysis, covering heterogeneous, homogeneous, organo-, bio-, and computational catalysis, as well as reaction and reactor engineering on an advanced level, this textbook is ideal for graduate students with diverse backgrounds, including catalysis, engineering, and organic synthesis. The basic principles of the various fields of catalysis are introduced in a concise way, preparing the reader for the more advanced chapters. Organometallic chemistry, surface science, biochemistry, nanoscience, transport phenomena and kinetics, reactor and reaction engineering are presented, spanning from the underlying science to industrial applications. Several important case studies on industrial applications are given. It includes catalyst preparation and characterisation and explores recent developments in the understanding of catalytic mechanisms, exploring advanced techniques such as operando spectroscopy.
Reviews / Votes
Without any doubt, this is a very contemporary textbook about catalysis which will definitely be useful for students and post docs, as well as newcomers. It compromises of not only the history and principles of catalysis but in an acceptable manner, it brings together fundamentals and applications of experimental techniques and reaction kinetics together with the design of reactions etc,. I would recommend it to all lecturers and readers not only for catalytic courses but also for other courses in technical and physical chemistry.More details
