Reseña del editor
A reasonable case could be made that the scientific interest in catalytic oxidation was the basis for the recognition of the phenomenon of catalysis. Davy, in his attempt in 1817 to understand the science associated with the safety lamp he had invented a few years earlier, undertook a series of studies that led him to make the observation that a jet of gas, primarily methane, would cause a platinum wire to continue to glow even though the flame was extinguished and there was no visible flame. Dobereiner reported in 1823 the results of a similar investigation and observed that spongy platina would cause the ignition of a stream of hydrogen in air. Based on this observation Dobereiner invented the first lighter. His lighter employed hydrogen (generated from zinc and sulfuric acid) which passed over finely divided platinum and which ignited the gas. Thousands of these lighters were used over a number of years. Dobereiner refused to file a patent for his lighter, commenting that "I love science more than money." Davy thought the action of platinum was the result of heat while Dobereiner believed the ~ffect ~as a manifestation of electricity. Faraday became interested in the subject and published a paper on it in 1834; he concluded that the cause for this reaction was similar to other reactions.

Theoretical chemists, chemical engineers, physicists, and practicing materials scientists have come to rely on the Catalysis Series for information on new catalysts and catalytic processes, lab techniques, and industrial applications. Methane Conversion by Oxidative Processes provides complete coverage of this subject area in one convenient source. The book is organized into two parts. Part One gives you the fundamentals, including state-of-the-art descriptions of work currently under way at leading laboratories. You'll get descriptions of studies concerning the reaction mechanism, catalyst characterization and evaluation, and the latest techniques used in these studies. Part Two looks at the engineering aspects, including economic evaluations. It explores the engineering problems involved in large-scale implementation of the process such as reaction and reactor engineering and economic evaluations of process alternatives.
