Kinetic Studies – Experimental Methods, 2nd Edition

EXPERIMENTAL METHODS IN KINETIC STUDIES TEMPERATURE SCANNING Editorial Reviews

Book Description

This book is a guide to kinetic studies of reaction mechanisms

Product Description

This book is a guide to kinetic studies of reaction mechanisms. It reviews conventional reactor types and data collection methods, and introduces a new methodology for data collection using Temperature Scanning Reactors (TSR). It provides a theoretical and practical approach to temperature scanning (TS) methodology and supports a revival of kinetic studies as a useful approach to the fundamental understanding of chemical reaction mechanisms and the consequential reaction kinetics.

Audience

Professors, research directors, and individual researchers and teachers in kinetics, catalyst development and evaluation, reactor and process design. Industrial workers in catalyst development and process design. University departments and libraries for chemical engineering. Industry laboratories for chemical, petrochemical and catalysis research and development.
