Titelbeschreibung

This book gradually brings the reader, through illustrations of the most crucial discoveries, into the modern world of chemical catalysis. Readers and experts will better understand the enormous influence that catalysis has given to the development of modern societies. • Highlights the field's onset up to its modern days, covering the life and achievements of luminaries of the catalytic era • Appeals to general audience in interpretation and analysis, but preserves the precision and clarity of a scientific approach • Fills the gap in publications that cover the history of specific catalytic processes

Back cover copy

With a solid theoretical structure and a powerful legacy of experimental equipment, chemistry holds a prime position among the sciences. Over the centuries, its participants came to realize, either from everyday experience or from inventive intuition, that chemical reactions could be made possible or facilitated using novel substances like catalysts or through the modification of physical parameters. The Development of Catalysis: A History of Key Processes and Personas in the Development of Catalytic Technology presents the highlights of the catalytic chemistry revolution from beginnings to modern days in terms of the life and achievements of the era's luminaries. Readers and experts will better understand the enormous influence that catalysis has given to the development of modern societies. Although the book contains many historical details, it is not a strict history of catalysis, but rather reviews catalytic processes discovered in the last 300 years. Each chapter reviews the chronological sequence of discoveries and their innovative character and concise biographies of the main involved scientists. The book content is partitioned into 9 chapters devoted to specific classes of processes and catalytic reactions. As such, The Development of Catalysis not only gives a complete overview of all industrial processes but also fills the gap in publications that cover the history of specific catalytic processes.
