Informationen zum Autor Howard F. Rase Klappentext This handbook offers the information necessary for numerous tasks, such as selecting a catalyst, designing a process, diagnosing operating problems, and improving existing processes. It provides an overview of 150 major commercial processes and the heterogeneous catalyst used for each. Rase (chemical engineering, University of Texas) draws from chemistry, thermodynamics, and surface science to develop a framework for reasoning about catalyst selection and performance. With information collected from the published literature, from the in-house specialists of commercial vendors, and from Rase's own experience, the book offers a background on commercial solid catalysts according to specific reactions or reaction types. Each entry is cross-indexed by reactants and products. Zusammenfassung Presents the information needed to form a basis for the task. This book provides an overview of 150 major commercial processes and the heterogeneous catalyst used for each. It also offers insights, based on chemistry, thermodynamics, and surface science that provide a framework for rational reasoning about catalyst performance. Inhaltsverzeichnis Acetoxylation.
