Elementary Kinetic Modelling in Catalytic Reaction Engineering is a practical focused text that brings together the relevant basics for reaction engineering and shows their applications to a wide variety of examples, whilst looking at the intrinsic kinetics data acquisition, reaction mechanism elucidation, elementary step-based modelling and model-based design and optimization involved.The book aims at spanning the entire process from acquisition of the relevant data in dedicated experimental set-ups, over the proper treatment of the data and the corresponding interpretation up to the quantification of the gained understanding in a model. The latter aspect allows the reader to challenge the interpretation made of the data and design subsequent experiments or improve the interpretation/model formulation. The coverage is not just limited to the generic (theoretical) principles but will also carefully consider and explain their application to a variety of real-life applications including gas- and liquid-phase reactions, heterogeneously catalyzed reactions involving adsorption either in the Henry regime or at full saturation of the catalyst or combined homogeneous-heteroge... reactions.Elementary Kinetic Modelling in Catalytic Reaction Engineering is written primarily for graduate students and postdoc researchers in chemical engineering or applied industrial chemistry studying chemical reaction engineering and catalysis, as well as physical chemists studying kinetics.

Enzymatic Reactors: Design and Optimization delves into the performance analysis of enzyme reactors, starting from the simplest ideal reactors considered individually as single units, then progressing to combinations of multiple units. The book gradually improves the quality of modeling with contributions from nonideal hydrodynamics and mass transfer, eventually addressing interactions with separation and classical control of operation. It helps readers evolve their understanding of reactor concepts and extends their knowledge to overall reactor operation. The book covers three levels of description: macroscopic (ideal), microscopic (nonideal hydrodynamics and mass transfer), and submicroscopic (nonideal mixing).The quality of approximation increases with the complexity of mathematical models and experimental data. It explores ideal reactors, nontrivial flow patterns, multiphasic systems, and the mixing processes essential for optimizing enzyme reactor performance.

The first part presents isomerization of functionalized and non-functionalized alkenes. Homogeneous amination and hydroamination reactions are investigated in the second, while the final part covers homogeneous reactions of silicon compounds. The comprehensive coverage of the subject means this volume will be particularly useful to help bridge the gap between chemists and engineer’s knowledge and use of homogeneous catalysis.
