Fundamentáis of Industrial Catalytic Processes, Second Edition is a comprehensive combination handbook and textbook that presents the definitive, up-to-date account of important catalyst, reactor, and process technologies for important catalytic processes practiced in a wide range of industries, including the chemical, petroleum, electric utility, food, transportaron, and emission-control industries. Integrating science fundamentáis necessary to the design and practice of these processes, the book addresses important basic principies of heterogeneous, homogeneous, enzymatic, and polymer catalysis. This book consists of two sections treating fundamentáis and practice. The first section addresses basic principies underlying the science of catalytic reactions; catalyst materials, properties, preparation, and characterization; reaction engineering; and catalyst deactivation. The second section provides substantial data on process chemistries, reaction kinetics and mechanisms, catalyst chemistry/design, reactor/process design, and catalyst deactivation for important catalytic processes practiced commercially
