Contemporary Catalysis : Science, Technology and Applications

Covering the basic principles, this book covers aspects of homogeneous, heterogeneous, organo-, bio- and computational catalysis. It discusses catalyst preparation, catalyst characterization and reactor engineering, and explores recent developments in the understanding of catalytic mechanism, such as operando spectroscopy. Several important case studies using industrial applications are given. It is an integrated approach ideal for graduate students from a range of backgrounds, including catalysis, engineering and organic synthesis.
