The phenomenon of catalysis is found in many homogeneous and
heterogeneous systems undergoing chemical change, where it effects
the rates of approach to the equilibrium state in processes as
diverse as those found in the stars, the earth's mantle, living
organisms, and the various chemistries utilized by industry. The
economies and the living standards of both developed and developing
countries depend to varying degrees upon the efficacy of their
chemical industries. Con sequently, this century has seen a wide
exploration and expansion of catalytic chemistry together with an
intensive investigation of specific, essential processes like those
contributing to life-supporting agricultures. Prime among the
latter must surely be the "fixation" of atmospheric nitrogen by
catalytic hydrogenation to anhydrous ammonia, still the preferred
synthetic precursor of the nitrogenous components of fertilizers.
In each decade contemporary concepts and techniques have been used
to further the understanding, as yet incomplete, of the catalyst,
the adsorbates, the surface reactions, and the technology of
large-scale operation. The contributors to the present volume
review the state of the art, the science, and the technology; they
reveal existing lacunae, and suggest ways forward. Around the turn
of the century, Sabatier's school was extending the descriptive
catalytic chemistry of hydrogenation by metals to include almost
all types of multiple bond. The triple bond of dinitrogen, which
continued to be more resistant than the somewhat similar bonds in
carbon monoxide and ethyne, defied their efforts."
