The text covers the lifecycle of a catalyst from laboratory design to industrial reactor:
: In-depth look at heterogeneously catalyzed procedures used in large-scale manufacturing.
: Techniques for planning and developing industrial catalysts, including the immobilization of homogeneous catalysts.
The book is specifically designed for both students and practitioners who seek to move beyond empirical "trial and error" methods toward a systematic understanding of catalyst development .
(Technical Catalysis: An Introduction) is a comprehensive textbook by Jens Hagen , first published in 1996 (1st Edition) and subsequently updated, including a widely cited 2008 release . It serves as a foundational bridge between academic chemical principles and large-scale industrial applications, addressing the fact that over 80% of all industrial chemical processes rely on catalysis.
