The idea of this book is to tackle various aspects of heterogeneous catalysis from the engineering point of view and go all the way from engineering of catalysis, catalyst preparation, characterization, reaction kinetics and mass transfer to catalytic reactors and the implementation of catalysts in chemical technology. Aimed for graduate students it is also a useful resource for professionals working in research & development.
Prof. Dmitry Yu. Murzin studied chemistry and chemical engineering at the Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology in Moscow and obtained his PhD at Karpov Institute of Physical Chemistry in 1989. After working in France and Finland he joined BASF. From 2000 he is a Chaired Professor in Chemical Technology at Åbo Akademi University, Finland. Author of 8 books, 19 edited monographs/ journal issues, over 1000 scientific papers.
