Heterogeneous Catalysis is a subject of great industrial
importance. Almost eighty per cent of the heavy chemicals are
produced by employing heterogeneous catalysts at some stage or
other. This is why it has become necessary to introduce the subject
in the graduate programmes in Chemistry and Chemical Technology.
The first few chapters are concerned with the adsorption
phenomenon-physical adsorption and chemisorption. The next some
chapters discuss some general principles of catalysis, catalysis by
metals, semiconductors and acidic solids including zeolites and
clays. It also presents the mechanism of some selected reactions.
Various experimental techniques such as infrared and Raman
spectroscopy, thermal methods, ESCA and Auger methods as well as
NMR, EPR and Mossbauer spectroscopic methods for characterizing
solid catalysts have been discussed in other chapters. The last two
chapters of the book have catalyst preparation and the role of
diffusion in heterogeneous catalysis. The author' principle
objective in writing this book was 'No prior knowledge of catalysis
is required and the book can also be used for self-study'.
