The third edition of this standard textbook spans the full range from fundamentals of kinetics and heterogeneous catalysis via modern experimental and theoretical results of model studies right up to their equivalent large-scale industrial production processes.

Concepts of Modern Catalysis and Kinetics (first edition 2003, second 2007) is the first textbook to span the full range from fundamentals of kinetics and heterogeneous catalysis via modern experimental and theoretical results of model studies to their equivalent large-scale industrial production processes. This expanded third edition includes significant new developments, particularly in the application of catalysis in energy technology. Several chapters have been updated with new examples, and all chapters now have a separate section with literature references. With its focus on practical application on the basis of fundamental understanding, the book provides key knowledge for students at technical and comprehensive universities and professionals already working in industry or academia.
