Characterization of catalytic Materials is a modern, compressive reference volume covering the analysis of catalytic materials used in commercial applications. This book provides information for understanding the performance of each class of catalytic material and discusses the application of these materials in different kind of technologies such as in pollution control, and chemical and petroleum processing. Each chapter is written by individuals who are internationally recognized as experts in their respective areas and disorganized 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 than on the techniques to be used.
