Jaffee, published in 1975.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume is a collection of scientific papers focused on the fundamental physical principles underlying heterogeneous catalysis, where reactions occur at the interface between different phases, typically solid catalysts and gaseous or liquid reactants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book explores how the structure and properties of catalyst surfaces influence chemical reactions. It begins with discussions of surface physics and chemistry, including adsorption processes, surface energy, and the interaction between reactant molecules and catalytic materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey topics include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurface structure and composition: crystal structure, defects, and active sites on catalyst surfaces\u003cbr\u003eAdsorption phenomena: physical and chemical adsorption mechanisms and their role in reaction initiation\u003cbr\u003eReaction kinetics: how surface processes control reaction rates and pathways\u003cbr\u003eCatalyst characterization: experimental techniques used to study surfaces, such as spectroscopy and microscopy (as developed at the time)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume also examines how variations in catalyst materials—such as metals, oxides, and supported catalysts—affect performance. Contributors analyze the relationship between microscopic surface behavior and macroscopic catalytic activity, aiming to establish a more predictive understanding of catalyst design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplications discussed include processes relevant to the chemical and petroleum industries, where heterogeneous catalysis is essential for refining, synthesis, and energy-related reactions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stemcell Science Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51035988721949,"sku":"TH-4902","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/0158\/2449\/files\/IMG_6908.jpg?v=1776122956","url":"https:\/\/stemcell.eco\/products\/the-physical-basis-for-heterogeneous-catalysis","provider":"Stemcell Science Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
