Characterization of Catalytic Materials (Materials Characterization : Surfaces, Interfaces, Thinfilms)

Butterworth-Heinemann, 1992-04. Hardcover. Good. Good hardback with illustrated boards, binding is solid and square. Some highlighting, previous owner's name to front free endpaper, "Withdrawn" stamped on rear free endpaper but no other library markings. "[A] comprehensive reference volume covering the analysis of catalytic materials used in commercial applications ... [It] discusses the application of these materials in different kinds of technologies such as pollution control, and chemical and petroleum processing ... [Chapters are] organized for easy reference by catalytic classes, and the types of surface, interface, and bulk characterization that might be sought. Written from the materials perspective, Characterization of Catalytic Materials focuses on the properties to be measured rather then on the techniques to be used." Section headings include Bulk Metals and Alloys, Supported Metals, Bulk Metal Oxides, Supported Metal Oxides, Bulk Metal Sulfides, Supported Metal Sulfides, Zeolites and Molecular Sieves, and Alumina Pillared Clays. 202 pages with index, and an appendix with summaries of 30 analysis methods (mostly various methods of microscopy, spectrometry and spectroscopy).
