Catalysis at Surfaces / Edition 1

by I.M. Campbell

Overview

This text provides a balanced introduction to the principles and techniques of heterogeneous catalysis. Beginning with the basic chemistry and physics of catalysis, the book goes on to pay particular attention to the contribution that surface science is making to our understanding of catalysis. It concludes with chapters devoted to carefully chosen examples of real catalytic systems, including catalytic action by enzymes and industrial processes based on solid catalysis. Looking to the future, the book introduces many novel types of catalysis.

Editorial Reviews

As the title of this clearly written and nicely produced book suggests, it is about heterogeneous catalysis...The publication of the present book...is therefore welcomed. Chemistry and Industry; ...Particular strengths of the book include good writing style, numerous figures and tables, and excellent organization. This book gives an excellent perspective of surface processes that occur in catalytic systems. Journal of Solid State Chemistry

From the Publisher

Undergraduate text designed to describe and explain the significant features of a variety of solids which offer active surfaces for catalysis, together with the microscopic actions which lead ultimately to the evolution of the reaction products.
