Bøger i Comprehensive Chemical Kinetics serien

Suitable for an engineer in industrial process development, a research chemist in academia and industry, and a graduate student intending to become a reaction engineer, this book includes chapters on heterogeneous catalysis and periodic and chaotic reactions.

Covers chemical kinetics models for chemical reactions. This book includes a comprehensive treatment of pressure dependent reactions, which are frequently not incorporated into detailed chemical kinetic models, and the use of computational quantum chemistry, which has become an extraordinarily useful component of the reaction kinetics toolkit.

Addresses the chemist and engineer in industrial research and process development, where competitive pressures put a premium on scale-up by large factors to cut development time. This book forges fundamental kinetics into a practical tool by presenting various methods for elucidation of mechanisms and reduction of mathematical complexity.

Discusses the definitions of acids and bases together with the generalized definition for the solvent system for the description of both molecular and ionic solvents. This book also presents the oxobasicity index introduced as a measure of relative oxoacidic properties of ionic melts (pIL) and methods of its determination.

Provides a volume concerned with the use of modelling in chemical kinetics and shows the interplay of theory or simulation in many physico-chemical areas in which kinetics measurements provide significant physical insight. It covers electro- and interfacial chemistry, physiology, biochemistry, solid state chemistry and chemical engineering.

Aimed at providing an overall description of formal photokinetics. This volume attempts to provide a concise treatment of both thermo- and photochemical reactions by means of generalised differential equations, their set-up in matrix notation, and their solution by a formalism using numerical integration.

Unimolecular reactions are in principle the simplest chemical reactions, because they only involve one molecule. This book offers a review of the modern view of the statistical theories, as embodied in the various forms of RRKM theory. It deals with the fully quantum mechanical view of reactive states as resonances.
