Catalysis from A to Z

"Catalysis from A to Z" is a comprehensive encyclopedia that offers a complete and accessible collection of information on catalysis. This updated and expanded edition of the classic covers important terms from all aspects of the topic, including biocatalytic, homogeneous, and heterogeneous catalysis. Additionally, related topics such as spectroscopy and analytical methods are addressed. With 20% more content than the previous edition, the book provides a clear and concise coverage of the subject and includes abbreviations, biographical entries of significant scientists, trade names, key catalytic processes, named reactions, and other relevant key terms. Written by over 200 leading scientists and featuring more than 15,000 entries, the 5th edition covers all aspects of catalysis and is rich in illustrations, tables, cross-references, and literature references. It also discusses the kinetics and thermodynamics of catalytic reactions as well as industrial catalytic processes and spectroscopic methods for catalyst analysis.
