Written by a team of internationally recognized experts, this book addresses the most important types of catalytic reactions and catalysts as used in industrial practice. Both applied aspects and the essential scientific principles are described. The main topics can be summarized as follows: heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis, catalyst preparation and characterization, catalytic reaction engineering and kinetics, catalyst deactivation and industrial perspective.

From the reviews:
"This is a useful compilation of articles by some sixteen authorities illustrating the empirical and theoretical principles underlying the functioning, preparation and durability of industrial catalysts. … the text is well edited, organised and illustrated. … This is one of the best books on applied catalysis to appear recently and would be a useful addition to any chemist seriously interested in catalyst research with commercial applications in mind."
