The first English edition of this book was published in 2014. This
book was originally intended for undergraduate and graduate
students and had one major objective: teach the basic concepts of
kinetics and reactor design. The main reason behind the book is the
fact that students frequently have great difficulty to explain the
basic phenomena that occur in practice. Therefore, basic concepts
with examples and many exercises are presented in each topic,
instead of specific projects of the industry. The main objective
was to provoke students to observe kinetic phenomena and to think
about them. Indeed, reactors cannot be designed and operated
without knowledge of kinetics. Additionally, the empirical nature
of kinetic studies is recognized in the present edition of the
book. For this reason, analyses related to how experimental errors
affect kinetic studies are performed and illustrated with actual
data. Particularly, analytical and numerical solutions are derived
to represent the uncertainties of reactant conversions in distinct
scenarios and are used to analyze the quality of the obtained
parameter estimates. Consequently, new topics that focus on the
development of analytical and numerical procedures for more
accurate description of experimental errors in reaction systems and
of estimates of kinetic parameters have been included in this
version of the book. Finally, kinetics requires knowledge that must
be complemented and tested in the laboratory. Therefore, practical
examples of reactions performed in bench and semi-pilot scales are
discussed in the final chapter. This edition of the book has been
organized in two parts. In the first part, a thorough discussion
regarding reaction kinetics is presented. In the second part, basic
equations are derived and used to represent the performances of
batch and continuous ideal reactors, isothermal and non-isothermal
reaction systems and homogeneous and heterogeneous reactor vessels,
as illustrated with several examples and exercises. This textbook
will be of great value to undergraduate and graduate students in
chemical engineering as well as to graduate students in and
researchers of kinetics and catalysis.

This book aims to introduce the basic concepts involved in
industrial catalytic processes. It is profusely illustrated with
experimental results with the main objective of guiding how to
select a suitable catalyst for specific processes. The book is
divided in two parts. In the first part the basic concepts are
addressed, regarding the existing theories, activity patterns and
adsorption-desorption phenomena. In the second part the key
experimental methods for the physicochemical characterization of
catalysts are presented, as well as the currently used catalyst pre
and post treatments. The last chapter describes some important in
situ characterization techniques (e.g. XPS and TEM) and surface
model patterns related to surface modifications occurring during
the reaction. Thoroughly illustrated with microscopy images,
spectroscopy data and schematics of reaction mechanisms, the book
provides a powerful learning tool for students in undergraduate and
graduate level courses on the field of catalysis. Exercises and
resolved problems are provided, as well as experimental procedures
to support laboratory classes. Furthermore, the content is
presented in a carefully chosen sequence, reflecting the 30 year
teaching experience of the author. The author, Professor Martin
Schmal, sees the present book as a way of conveying basic knowledge
needed for the development of more efficient catalysts (i.e.
nanostructured materials) and novel industrial chemical processes
in the fields of environmental chemistry, fine chemistry,
hydrotreating of heavy oils, hydrogen production and biomass
processing.
