This long-awaited second edition of the successful introduction to the fundamentals of heterogeneous catalysis is now completely revised and updated. Written by internationally acclaimed experts, this textbook includes fundamentals of adsorption, characterizing catalysts and their surfaces, the significance of pore structure and surface area, solid-state and surface chemistry, poisoning, promotion, deactivation and selectivity of catalysts, as well as catalytic process engineering. A final section provides a number of examples and case histories. With its color and numerous graphics plus references to help readers to easily find further reading, this is a pivotal work for an understanding of the principles involved.
All those in industry who work with catalysts, both beginners and those of considerable experience, should find this volume an essential guide.
Heterogeneous Catalysis: Principles and Applications
The book also contains discussions on a variety of modern applications, including environmental pollution control, petroleum refining, fuel cells, and monomolecular films.
The dehydrated surface shown as the precursor of the reaction shown in Eq. (4.2) is a Lewis acid. If the surface is not fully hydrated, or becomes partially dehydrated on calcination, the surface has a mixture of Lewis and Bro ̈nsted ...
