Authors : LYNCH John   ISBN :  2-7108-0837-4  Price : 116 Euros, 139 $US, 721.56 FF Publication Date :  Sep 2003 hardcover, 170 x 240 mm, 320 p., 222 figs., 11 tables.  Press reviews

This book describes the principal physico-chemical techniques for characterising the catalysts used in searching for new active phases, optimising the formulation and monitoring industrial production. Based on courses given at the Institut Français du Pétrole for research technicians in the fields of kinetics and catalysis, this book covers useful basic theory and provides numerous examples of industrial applications. This guide is an essential companion for technicians and chemical engineers whose work requires an understanding of the fields of application, including the capabilities and the limits of today's complex characterisation techniques.
