This book addresses primarily the engineer in industrial process
development, the research chemist in academia and industry, and the
graduate student intending to become a reaction engineer. In
industry, competitive pressures put a premium on scale-up by large
factors to cut development time. To be safe, such development
should be based on "fundamental" kinetics that reflect the
elementary steps of which the reaction consists. The book forges
fundamental kinetics into a practical tool by presenting new,
effective methods for elucidation of mechanisms and reduction of
complexity without unacceptable sacrifice in accuracy: fewer
equations (lesser computational load), fewer coefficients (fewer
experiment to determine them). For network elucidation, new rules
relating network configurations to observable kinetic behaviour
allow incorrect networks to be ruled out by whole classes instead
of one by one. For modelling, general equations and algorithms are
given from which equations for specific networks can be recovered
by simple substitutions.
The procedures are illustrated with examples of industrial
reactions including, among others, paraffin oxidation,
ethoxylation, hydroformylation, hydrocyanation, shape-selective
catalysis, ethane pyrolysis, styrene polymerization, and ethene
oligomerization. Many of the rate equations have not been published
before.
The expanded edition of the 2001 title, Kinetics of Homogeneous
Multistep Reactions includes new chapters on heterogeneous
catalysis and periodic and chaotic re-actions; new sections on
adsorption, statistical methods, and lumping; and other new
detail.
* Contains new chapters on heterogeneous catalysis, oscillations
and chaos
* Includes new sections on statistical methods, lumping adsorption
and software and databases
* Provides a better understanding of complex reaction
mechanisms
