Gregory Tate: A Heterogeneous Catalysis Primer, Gebunden

Klappentext

An introduction to the most useful methods of preparation, characterization, and evaluation for new researchers in the field

Written as an integral whole with a well-thought-out pedagogical structure, A Heterogeneous Catalysis Primer surveys the main methods of preparation, characterization, and evaluation in heterogeneous catalysis. It explores the latest scientific advances and those in characterization by powder x-ray diffraction and chemisorption. Each chapter contains instructive homework problems with solutions.

The book explains how to:

• Control catalyst synthesis to yield highly dispersed metal and metal oxide nanoparticles
• Blend methods to characterize nanomaterials most efficiently at atomic scale
• Rectify characterization when different methods give apparently contradictory results
• Choose the characterization methods that give needed answers most effectively
• Unambiguously determine the intrinsic reactivity of supported catalysts

This book is an essential reference for advanced students taking courses on heterogeneous catalysis, reaction engineering, and process kinetics. It also helps professional researchers new to heterogeneous catalysis get off to a flying start.
