"Highly recommended..." (Focus on Catalyst, February 2001)
"...the author has accomplished an aggressive goal...The book is well written and will be appreciated by both the newcomer and expert in the field." (Cattech Vol. 6, No. 2, 2002)

Im Mittelpunkt dieses Bandes stehen sieben Fallstudien aus dem Gebiet der heterogen-katalytischen Oxidation; ihnen vorangestellt sind allgemeinere Informationen zur Katalyse und zur Oxidation. Jede Fallstudie widmet sich den Grundlagen und der Technologie einer bestimmten Reaktionsklasse, wobei 5 bis 6 Prinzipien herausgearbeitet werden, die allen heterogen-katalytischen Oxidationen gemeinsam sind. Der Stoff ist sehr anschaulich aufgearbeitet, mit vielen Diagrammen und Abbildungen. (04/00)
