Principles and Practice of Heterogeneous Catalysis

Setting the scene; the fundamentals of adsorption - structural and dynamical considerations, isotherms and energetics; characterizing catalysts and their surfaces; the significance of pore structure and surface area in heterogeneous catalysis; the solid-state and surface chemistry of catalysts;poisoning, promotion, deactivation and selectivity of catalysts; catalytic process engineering; heterogeneous catalysis - examples and case histories.
