Description
This book has been written by a group of mathematicians and chemists whose common interest is in the complex dynamics of catalytic reactions.
Based on developments in mathematical chemistry, a general theory is described that allows the investigation of the relationships between
the kinetic characteristics of complex reactions and their detailed reaction mechanism. Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis is made
of some typical mechanism of catalytic reactions, in particular for the oxidation of carbon monoxide on platinum metals.
In fact,
the book presents “three kinetics”: (a) detailed, oriented to the elucidation of a detailed reaction mechanism according to its
kinetic laws; (b) applied, with the aim of obtaining kinetic relationships for the further design of chemical reactors; and (c) mathematical
kinetics whose purpose is the analysis of mathematical models for heterogeneous catalytic reactions taking place under steady- or unsteady-state
conditions.
