Catalysis, the speeding up of a chemical reaction by a substance
which itself does not react, is vital not only to the chemical
process industry but also to life itself. The six volume
Encyclopedia of Catalysis is the definitive A-to-Z reference work
covering the most significant aspects of homogenous, heterogeneous,
asymmetric, biomimetic, and biological catalysis. Available both
on-line and in print, the state-of-the-art Encyclopedia encompasses
the principles of catalysis; the scope of catalytic reactions; the
preparation, characterization, and use of catalysts (including
catalytic technology); the modeling of catalytic processes; and
related reaction engineering techniques. The logical organization
of this seminal work renders the text easily accessible to both
process personnel and those involved in basic and applied research
and development.
