Chemistry and chemical technology have been at the heart of the revolutionary developments of the 20th century. The chemical industry has a long history of combining theory (science) and practice (engineering) to create new and useful products. Worldwide, the process industry (which includes chemicals, petrochemicals, petroleum refining, and pharmaceuticals) is a huge, complex, and interconnected global business with an annual production value exceeding 4 trillion dollars. Although in industry special focus is in heterogeneous catalysis, homogeneous, enzymatic, photochemical and electrochemical catalysis should not be overlooked; as the major aim is to produce certain chemicals in the best possible way, applying those types of catalysis, which suit a particular process in the most optimal way. Catalysis according to the very definition of it deals with enhancement of reaction rates, that is, with catalytic kinetics. This book unifies the main sub disciplines forming the cornerstone of catalytic kinetics.* Provides a broad overview catalytic kinetics* Bridges the gaps that exist between hetero-, homo- and bio-catalysis* Written by internationally renowned experts in this field

The book illuminates various aspects of heterogeneous catalysis engineering, from catalysis design, catalyst preparation and characterization, reaction kinetics, mass transfer, and catalytic reactors to the implementation of catalysts in chemical technology. Aimed at graduate students, it is also a useful resource for professionals working in research and development.

The book discusses the sciences of operations, converting raw materials into desired products on an industrial scale by applying chemical transformations and other industrial technologies. Basics of chemical technology combining chemistry, physical transport, unit operations and chemical reactors are thoroughly prepared for an easy understanding.

Formulation Product Technology focuses on materials chemistry and introduces industrial manufacturing technologies for different product types. Besides addressing the fundamentals and the corresponding unit operations, the author presents a full cycle of product development for the materials that are used in everyday live. Various performance and personal chemicals, such as paints, coatings, dyes, laundry detergents, glass and concrete, pesticides, diapers, skin care and hair care products, etc. are discussed starting from product selection and up to setup of manufacturing process. Additional new products discussed: dyes for textiles, decorative products, hand sanitizers, deodorants, pesticides. Easy-to-understand introduction to formulation product design. Covers all main product types of modern chemical industry.
