Most of the products of every day life are produced using catalytic processes in the chemical industry. There is hardly any scientist in chemistry, the life sciences and related areas
who does not encounter catalytic phenomena in his or her daily work. Not every scientist
is familiar with all the different
aspects and termini of catalysis. This encyclopedia is designed as a source for
chemists, biochemists, physicists and engineers
whose permanent
or occasional interest lies in catalysis.
They will find important information and
up-to-date citations
on all aspects of heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis, as well as on analytical techniques, and industrial processes.
