CATALYSIS FROM A TO Z: A CONCISE ENCYCLOPEDIA. Cet article n’est pas disponible.CATALYSIS FROM A TO Z: A CONCISE ENCYCLOPEDIA

Catalysis occurs always and everywhere: There is no life without thousands of catalytic reactions going on in plants, animals, and human beings. Most of the products of every day life are produced using catalytic processes in the chemical industry. There is hardly any scientist in chemistry, the life sciences and related areas who does not encounter catalytic phenomena in his or her daily work. And there is also hardly any scientist to be found who is familiar with all the different aspects and termini of catalysis. This encyclopedia is designed as a first--stop--source for chemists, biochemists, physicists, and engineers whose permanent or occasional interest lies in catalysis. Comprehensive, succinct and easy to use -- these are the key features of this encyclopedia of catalysis. More than 150 top scientists have contributed more than 3000 entries -- from A for acylase to Z for zeolith. You will find important information and up--to--date citations on all aspects of heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis, as well as on analytical methods and techniques, and industrial processes.
