Overview

Heterogeneous reactions; heterogeneous catalysis (general characteristics, adsorption on solid surfaces, physical properties of catalysts); kinetics of fluid, solid catalytic reactions (rates of adsorption, desorption and surface reactions, qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis); external transport processes in heterogeneous reactions (fixed and fluidized beds); internal transport processes (mass and heat transfer with reaction , effectiveness factor, effect of internal resistance on selectivity and poisoning); design of heterogeneous catalytic reactors; deviation from ideal-reactor performance (residence time distribution).
