Opis

vi industrial process or a class of catalysts forms the basis of other books, with information on: fundamental science of the topic, the use of the pro- cess or catalysts, and engineering aspects. Single topics in catalysis are also treated in the series, with books giving the theory of the underlying science, and relating it to catalytic practice. We believe that this approach is giving a collection of volumes that is of value to both academic and industrial workers. The series editors welcome comments on the series and suggestions of topics for future volumes.
