About this book

This textbook is a concise introduction to heterogeneous catalysis, focusing on the fundamentals and industrial implementation. It is written in a clear manner using language that is easily accessible to undergraduate students in chemical engineering and industrial chemistry. The textbook includes exercise problems and practice software. New in this edition are sections on catalyst preparation and manufacture, kinetic parameter estimation, and catalytic transport-line reactors. Solutions to all the example problems are now provided.

Easy to understand introduction to heterogeneous catalysis with focus on industrial applications.

Fundamentals such as adsorption, kinetics, transport effects as well as examples from industry are discussed.
