Contemporary Catalysis by Julian R H Ross, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Contemporary Catalysis: Fundamentals and Current Applicationsdeals with the fundamentals and modern practical applications of catalysis. Topics addressed include historical development and the importance of heterogeneous catalysis in the modern world, surfaces and adsorption, the catalyst (preparation and characterization), the reactor (integral and differential reactors, etc.), and an introduction to spectroscopic and thermal characterization techniques. Building on this foundation, the book continues with chapters on important industrial processes, potential processes and separate chapters on syngas production, Fischer Tropsch synthesis, petroleum refining, environmental protection, and biomass conversion. Contemporary Catalysisis an essential resource for chemists, physical chemists, and chemical engineers, as well as graduate and post graduate students in catalysis and reaction engineering. Covers all aspects of catalysis in a carefully organized textIncludes material on historical developmentProvides a wide range of student tasks, case studies, and supplementary, web-based materials that are regularly updated | Contemporary Catalysis by Julian R H Ross, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
