to the Fundamental and Applied Catalysis Series Catalysis is
important academically and industrially. It plays an essential role
in the manufacture of a wide range of products, from gasoline and
plastics to fertilizers and herbicides, which would otherwise be
unobtainable or prohibitive ly expensive. There are few chemical-or
oil-based material items in modern society that do not depend in
some way on a catalytic stage in their manufacture. Apart from
manufacturing processes, catalysis is finding other important and
over-increasing uses; for example, successful applications of
catalysis in the control ofpollution and its use in environmental
control are certain to in crease in the future. The commercial
import an ce of catalysis and the diverse intellectual challenges
of catalytic phenomena have stimulated study by a broad spectrum of
scientists including chemists, physicists, chemical engineers, and
material scientists. Increasing research activity over the years
has brought deeper levels of understanding, and these have been
associated with a continually growing amount of published material.
As recentlyas sixty years ago, Rideal and Taylor could still treat
the subject comprehensively in a single volume, but by the 19 50s
Emmett required six volumes, and no conventional multivolume text
could now cover the whole of catalysis in any depth.
