This monograph presents the major results of pioneering research on bimetallic catalysts carried out over a
twenty-year span by John Sinfelt in the laboratories of the Exxon Research and Engineering Company. Dr. Sinfelt's work has had a significant impact in the field of catalysis, with regard to both fundamental aspects of catalysis and industrial applications. This book details the principal findings and applications to emerge from this research. In addition, it traces the distinct methodology developed during the research, which employs a mixture of exploratory and fundamental studies utilizing
carefully selected model systems and a combination of chemical and physical probes for elucidating their properties. It is highly recommended for chemists, physicists, chemical engineers, and surface and materials scientists. |
