Review: This multi-author review of physico-chemical analysis of industrial catalysts describes a broad range of analysis techniques; for example, older techniques of texture analysis of solids and elemental analysis, and newer techniques such as X-ray absorption spectroscopy and the use of radiation and particle beams. The book provides an up-to-date account of what each technique can offer, a summary of its development and the basic principle of its operation. Descriptions of equipment, typical performance levels, typical preparation procedures for samples, and standard cost estimates in terms of time are also provided. The book is aimed at chemical engineers and technical staff in laboratories preparing catalytic solids.
