Opis

This work provides a practical, step-by-step guide to the preparation, production and operation of all commercially used catalysts, taking into account general safety considerations and up-to-date regulations from the Occupational Health Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency. This second edition contains updated and expanded material on the regeneration, reactivity and recovery of used catalysts; problems related to environmental catalysis; a unique CO oxidation catalyst; and more.;This work is intended for chemical, plant, automotive, petroleum, fuel and design engineers; and upper-level graduate and graduate students in these disciplines.

Recenzje

"Praise for the first edition. . . . . .a useful reference to industrial chemists and chemical engineers, or anyone else, seeking to prepare large quantities of catalysts for pilot plant studies or for commercialization. "
---Journal of the American Chemical Society
". . .should be read with profit by those in academia who are thereby given a valuable. . .tour of an aspect of industry where the doors are normally closed to them. "
