About this ebook

This book explores a balance between energy and material, applied to chemical reactors with catalysis, to achieve a given purpose. It includes the fundamentals of chemical reaction engineering and explains reactor design fundamentals. The book spans the full range-from the fundamentals of kinetics and heterogeneous catalysis via modern experimental and theoretical results of model studies-to their equivalent large-scale industrial production processes. It also includes significant developments, with recent research case studies and literature.
