Understanding and modeling the kinetics of chemical reactions is
crucial to any research and development effort aimed at process
optimization and innovation. This volume provides four
complementary points of view. It reflects state-of-the-art
developments as well as views on the way to proceed by reporting on
the efforts of a representative, sample of research and development
groups.
A first contribution by W.H. Green Jr. sets the scene. The author
advocates a paradigm shift in chemical kinetics from "postdictive"
to predictive models.
The contribution from the Politecnico di Milano reports on the
tremendous experience accumulated over the years in the field of
steam cracking, one of the largest scale production processes of
the petrochemical industry. The Russian school of chemical kinetics
is represented by a chapter on oxidation of alkanes, this
contribution addresses more "philosophical" issues. The last
chapter gives an indication of the state-of-the-art in an
industrial environment.
