Heterogeneous Kinetics. This item is unavailable.Heterogeneous Kinetics

This book, aimed at academic and industrial scientists, presents the most advanced theory and methods of chemical kinetics. The theory is explained on the basis of the author's historical and logical view of traditional kinetics, beginning with van't Hoff and S. Arrhenius and progressing to the work of H. Eyring, E. Wigner and J. Horiuti. The theory has been applied to the understanding of Ziegler-Natta-Kaminsky catalysis, the results being supported by the author's own experimental studies. Organic chemists interested in finding new active catalysts will learn from this text how to understand the fundamental and practical kinetic method as relevant for catalyst research in industry and universities.

Graduate of Kyushu University, chemistry, BS (1945), worked with Prof. J. Horiuti, Research Institute for Catalysis, as Associate and Assosiate Professor, D. Sc (1956), from 1960 to 1981 Professor of Chemical Kinetics, Tokyo Institute of Technology, and President of the Numazu National College of Technology (1982-1989) and Founding President of the Japan Advanced Institute of Scinece and Technology (JAIST) (1989-1997).Currently, Professor Emeritus of the above three institutions. Author of 40 books and more than 300 research papers on theory and experiments of catalysis.
