Industrial Catalysis: A Practical Approach (Wiley-Vch) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Catalysis is the crucial step in the production of most chemicals. Furthermore, it is indispensable in research and environmental protection. Despite the fact that more than 80 % of production processes in industry are catalyzed, most chemists and engineers are restricted to trial and error when searching for a catalyst. They usually suffer from a lack of a scientific basis that would allow a systematic development of catalysts.

The present book covers both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, with emphasis on industrial processes. Environmental aspects and economic data are also taken into account. Each chapter provides plenty of examples. Many exercises help to test and consolidate knowledge of the topics. Thus this book is the first on industrial catalysis that is suitable for private study. Practitioners will also find further valuable information, such as simulation of reactors for catalysis. You will not find a comparable book on industrial catalysis!!!
