Summary "Whether called upon to select or improve a catalyst, design a process, diagnose operating problems, or improve existing processes, the Handbook of Commercial Catalysts provides the information needed to form a basis for the task. It offers a starting point by providing a broad overview of 150 major commercial processes and the heterogeneous catalyst used for each. The author offers insights - based on chemistry, thermodynamics, and surface science along with practical details on process units and catalysts - that provide a framework for rational reasoning about catalyst selection and performance."--Jacket.
