A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

I would definitely recommend this book to students who have newly been introduced to the heterogeneous catalyst applications in industry. It also serves as an academic resource for experienced scientists and engineers to have a better understanding of the current trend in heterogeneous catalysis. This will help the professionals to think out of the box and think ahead. - Hong Nie, Vice President, Research Institute of Petroleum Processing, SINOPEC

With its straightforward presentation, this book is indispensable for everybody who applies and researches heterogeneous catalysis. - Yong Lu, East China Normal University, Shanghai

Catalysis literature can be difficult to read if there is not a sufficient understanding of the underlying connections between the chemical, materials and engineering aspects of catalysis. As a result, many students lack the depth of knowledge to effectively understand the topic.

Introduction to Heterogeneous Catalysis solves this issue by presenting not only the basic concepts of catalysis but also, right from the beginning, integrating the chemical, materials and engineering aspects of catalysis in examples taken directly from industry.

Aimed at master's and PhD students with a limited background in chemistry, this book provides a thorough introduction to the principles behind catalysis that will enable readers to understand the concepts and analyse the literature necessary for its study.

Revue de presse

Heterogeneous catalysis is highly related to the industrial production of fuels, petrochemicals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. This book highlights the fundamental aspects and basic concepts of heterogeneous catalysis with many examples of industrial applications, providing a complete introduction to the principles behind catalysis. This book is well designed to provide supplementary knowledge for both the students in chemical engineering, who have often only a limited knowledge of chemistry, and those in chemistry and physics, who have not studied systematically the engineering-oriented courses. The representative types of catalysis and industrial examples are carefully selected to enable the readers to grasp the essence of heterogeneous catalysis and the importance of related engineering. --Distinguished Professor Feng-Shou Xiao, Zhejiang Univeristy, China

The book is a very effective tool for beginners and will be a valuable guide to cross the fascinating world of heterogeneous catalysis. --Dr Giuseppe Bellussi, Senior Vice President ET-DR&D, Eni S.p.A

The book is very nicely illustrated with diagrams and figures, many that are unique in their presentation, and the text is punctuated by photographs of famous historical figures. There are also problems at the back of each chapter which are useful, and in many cases, thought provoking. This is a must-have book in the personal library of people interested in catalysis. --Professor S Ted Oyama, University of Tokyo & Virginia Tech
