Heterogeneous Catalysis
What is Catalysis?
Why is it important?
What are the common types of catalytic processes?
Understand the importance of surface science in the study of working catalysts.
Become familiar with various surface science investigation techniques, and what sort of information they offer.
Understand the interactions of chemicals on surfaces.
Be able to qualitatively determine important catalytic parameters e.g. reaction kinetics, surface areas, isotherms, turnover frequencies, amount of materials on the surface and surface coverages.
Understand the necessary components of a working catalyst, its efficiency, lifetime and possible problems that are associated with catalysts.
What is the future of catalysis?
