  • Kinetic Models of Catalytic Reactions

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 32
    • G.S. Yablonskii + 3 more
    • English
    This book has been written by a group of mathematicians and chemists whose common interest is in the complex dynamics of catalytic reactions. Based on developments in mathematical chemistry, a general theory is described that allows the investigation of the relationships between the kinetic characteristics of complex reactions and their detailed reaction mechanism. Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis is made of some typical mechanism of catalytic reactions, in particular for the oxidation of carbon monoxide on platinum metals. In fact, the book presents three kinetics: (a) detailed, oriented to the elucidation of a detailed reaction mechanism according to its kinetic laws; (b) applied, with the aim of obtaining kinetic relationships for the further design of chemical reactors; and (c) mathematical kinetics whose purpose is the analysis of mathematical models for heterogeneous catalytic reactions taking place under steady- or unsteady-state conditions.
  • Liquid Chromatography in Biomedical Analysis

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 50
    • T. Hanai
    • English
    This book presents a guide for the analysis of biomedically important compounds using modern liquid chromatographic techniques. After a brief summary of basic liquid chromatographic methods and optimization strategies, the main part of the book focuses on the various classes of biomedically important compounds: amino acids, catecholamines, carbohydrates, fatty acids, nucleotides, porphyrins, prostaglandins and steroid hormones. The different chapters discuss specialized techniques pertaining to each class of compounds, such as sample pretreatment, pre- and post-column derivatization, detection and quantification.

  • Fundamentals of Interface and Colloid Science

    Fundamentals
    • 1st Edition
    • J. Lyklema
    • English
    Fundamentals of Interface and Colloid Science sets out the fundamental physical chemical concepts behind interface and colloid science. Starting from elementary principles, including those of classical thermodynamics and intermolecular interaction, it gradually progresses to more advanced topics such as partition functions and stochastic processes. Relevant mathematical techniques are explained in appendices. All that is required of the reader is a basic knowledge of physical chemistry, and research workers and graduates interested in colloid and interface science will welcome the wide ranging knowledge presented by the author and a team of experts. The discussions of many applications make the book of particular interest to those involved in practical research.

  • Radical, Single Electron Transfer, and Concerted Reactions

    A Research Annual
    • 1st Edition
    • James M. Coxon
    • English
    Advances in Detailed Reaction Mechanisms, Volume 1: Radical, Single Electron Transfer, and Concerted Reactions presents the unique properties of reactions. This book discusses the approaches to synthetic strategies, including nucleophilic substitution and the study of the radicals of the amino acids. Organized into four chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the complications that can arise in mechanistic probe investigations. This text then examines the development of free radicals that reflects several factors, including the recognition that their unique characteristics may be harnessed in simple approaches to synthetic strategies. Other chapters consider the variety and types of reaction that free radicals can undergo. This book discusses as well the factors that affect the formation and reaction of α-carbon-centered radicals derived from amino acids and their derivatives. The final chapter deals with deuterium isotope effects as well as fluorine substituent effects. This book is a valuable resource for physical organic chemists.
