Catalytic Kinetics

Chemistry and chemical technology has been at the heart of the 20th century. The chemical industry has a long history of combining theory (science) and practice (engineering) to create new and useful products. Worldwide, the process industry (which includes chemicals, petrochemicals, petroleum refining, and pharmaceuticals) is a huge, complex, and interconnected global business with 4 trillion dollars. Although in industry special focus is heterogeneous catalysis, homogeneous, enzymatic, photochemical and electrochemical catalysis should not be overlooked; as the major aim is to produce certain chemicals in the best possible way. Catalysis according to the catalytic kinetics. This book is a cornerstone of catalytic kinetics.
