This book is a critical account of the principles of the kinetics of heterogeneous catalytic reactions in the light of recent developments in surface science and catalysis science. Originally published in 1984. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These paperback editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Addresses the prediction of chemical activity and selectivity of new heterogeneous catalysts, based on a pattern recognition approach. Written by an internationally recognized (and prolific) researcher, this monograph expands the usefulness of catalysis in synthetic chemistry, where study of the mechanisms of catalysis can help answer questions of chemical structure, bonding, and reactivity. Illustrated.

The major topic of the book is the investigation of steady and unsteady processes in reactors with a fixed catalyst bed and the formulation of practical recommendations for realizing catalytic processes of high efficiency. The material is based mainly on research carried out at the Novosibirsk Institute of Catalysis of the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Most of the information is technologically orientated and in presenting the subject matter mathematical calculations have often been omitted while the physical sense of the results obtained from the study of mathematical models is always discussed. The book has a comprehensive and detailed bibliography and keyword index. It will be especially useful for specialists in the field of chemical engineering at industrial companies who are working on the development of catalytic processes, in the operation of chemical reactors and for students and post-graduate students of the same disciplines.
