Catalytic Kinetics

Catalytic Kinetics: Chemistry and Engineering, Second Edition offers a unified view that homogeneous, heterogeneous, and enzymatic catalysis form the cornerstone of practical catalysis.

The book has an integrated, cross-disciplinary approach to kinetics and transport phenomena in catalysis, but still recognizes the fundamental differences between different types of catalysis. In addition, the book focuses on a quantitative chemical understanding and links the mathematical approach to kinetics with chemistry.

A diverse group of catalysts is covered, including catalysis by acids, organometallic complexes, solid inorganic materials, and enzymes, and this fully updated second edition contains a new chapter on the concepts of cascade catalysis. Finally, expanded content in this edition provides more in-depth discussion, including topics such as organocatalysis, enzymatic kinetics, nonlinear dynamics, solvent effects, nanokinetics, and kinetic isotope effects.

• Fully revised and expanded, providing the latest developments in catalytic kinetics
• Bridges the gaps that exist between hetero-, homo- and enzymatic-catalysis
• Provides necessary tools and new concepts for researchers already working in the field of catalytic kinetics
• Written by internationally-renowned experts in the field
• Examples and exercises following each chapter make it suitable as an advanced course book

Post-graduate students and researchers in academia and industry working in catalysis, kinetics, and chemical engineering
