Catalyst Characterization -

. .

Résumé :
PThis unique reference critically analyzes the use and application of all major physical methods for determining the structure and behavior of catalysts. Each chapter presents a detailed description of a technique and its theoretical basis, a definition of its field of application, and examples of validity and limitation. Extensive cross referencing between chapters ensures seamless continuity as well as a holistic view of the field./P PThis new edition covers the substantial progress made since its predecessor in characterization of catalysts./P
