Isotopic assessment of heterogeneous catalysis

Book ·
OSTI ID:5762574
This book provides a very clear and systematic account of isotopic tracing as a method for elucidating chemical reaction mechanisms in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. Kinetic studies, as valuable as they are for evaluation of the global catalytic activity of industrial catalysts, often fall short of providing all the information needed to understand the reaction mechanisms. Isotopic tracer techniques offer an opportunity to get detailed mechanistic information without significantly perturbing the operating conditions of the reaction system.
