Kinetics of Chemical Reactions: Decoding Complexity

This systematic presentation covers both experimental and theoretical kinetic methods, as well as fundamental and applied. The identification of dominant reaction paths, reaction intermediates and rate–determining steps allows a quantification of the effects of reaction conditions and catalyst properties, providing guidelines for catalyst optimization. In addition, the form in which the equations are presented allows for their straightforward implementation for scale–up and chemical reactor design purposes. Throughout, the methodologies given are illustrated by many examples.
