Principles of Catalysis: From historical foundations to practical reactor design and industrial applications

This classic engineering and chemistry work traces how catalysts shape reactivity, from early ideas to modern reactor design.

It surveys the big ideas, the key experiments, and the practical paths that connect theory to real-world processes such as ammonia synthesis and cyanamide production. Readers gain a broad map of catalytic science, including how catalysts influence reaction rates, equilibria, and the flow of industrial chemistry.

The volume covers theory, measurement, and application. It discusses homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, surface effects, and the roles of promoters and poisons. It also explores specific catalytic domains—oxidation, hydrogenation, dehydration, hydrolysis, and more—alongside electrochemistry, radiance effects, and analytical catalysis. The book shows how catalysts are chosen, designed, and operated in industrial settings, with attention to scale, efficiency, and safety.

Foundational history and theories that underlie catalytic action.
How catalysts affect speed, equilibrium, and selectivity in chemical reactions.
Practical details of reactor design, heat management, and process economics.
Examples spanning ammonia synthesis, nitrides, hydrogenation, esterification, and more.

Ideal for readers interested in how chemistry becomes industrial practice, and for students and professionals seeking a broad, practical view of catalysis across theory and application.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Their importance emerges alike in the purely theoretical and in the technical aspects of the subject. In the natural order, also, investigation has shown how predominating a part the catalytic phenomenon plays. From the strictly utilitarian point of view, Industry was not slow to appreciate the advantages to be derived from the employment of agencies which should facilitate and speed-up manufacturing processes, nor was there lacking a body of scientific workers who steadily supplied the investigative and theoretical bases upon which such applications could be reared. As the scientific viewpoint developed the physiologist and biologist rapidly associated the simpler chemical phenomena with the more complex processes operating in living matter. To-day, therefore, catalysis intrudes prominently into all branches of natural science, both pure and applied. The need for an exposition of the fundamental principles involved in this particular field of general chemistry and of the applicability of such principles in modern life has been widely felt and has offered to the authors the necessary inducement to prepare the present volume. An excellent chapter in Mellor s Chemical Statics and Dynamics has formed, hitherto, the sole treatment in English of the theoretical aspects of the problem. From time to time various papers have catalogued the more important practical applications of catalysis. The monograph of Sabatier, La Catalyse en Chimie Organique, deals more particularly with the applications to preparative organic chemistry with slight reference to the physico-chemical theories involved.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the field of catalysis, a process in which a substance facilitates a chemical reaction without itself being consumed. The author traces the history of catalysis from its early beginnings to the present day, discussing the work of scientists such as Berzelius, Faraday, and Ostwald. The book also examines the theoretical and practical aspects of catalysis, including the different types of catalysts, the mechanisms by which they work, and their applications in industry. The author provides a comprehensive overview of this important field, making it an essential resource for students, researchers, and practitioners in chemistry and related disciplines. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781440038853_0
