Catalysis (an Integrated Textbook For Students)

Description

Edited by Hanefeld Ulf; Edited by Lefferts, Leon

Short /annotation:
Tried-and-tested by generations of graduate and PhD students in chemistry and chemical engineering and based on one of the most successful catalysis courses: This is the perfect catalysis textbook. Covering every aspects like biocatalysis, reactor design, kinetics and much morer.

:
Written by an excellent, highly experienced and motivated team of lecturers, this textbook is based on one of the most successful courses in catalysis and as such is tried-and-tested by generations of graduate and PhD students, i.e. the Catalysis-An-Integrated-Approach (CAIA) course organized by NIOK, the Dutch Catalysis research school.
It covers all essential aspects of this important topic, including homogeneous, heterogeneous and biocatalysis, but also kinetics, catalyst characterization and preparation, reactor design and engineering.
The perfect source of information for graduate and PhD students in chemistry and chemical engineering, as well as for scientists wanting to refresh their knowledge
