This advanced textbook teaches readers to design kinetic experiments involving heterogeneous catalysts, to characterize these catalysts, to acquire rate data, to find heat and mass transfer limitations in these data, to select reaction models, to derive rate expressions based on these models, and to assess the consistency of these rate equations. Special emphasis is placed on assessing mass transfer effects. Discussion of adsorption isotherms and reaction models explains the limitations of these models and their application. Ideal and nonideal surfaces are considered, as well as enzyme catalysis. Exercises and worked examples abound. The book will be used in courses in kinetics or catalysis and also as a supplement in advanced chemical engineering courses on kinetics and reactor design. It will be used in the disciplines of Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Fuels Science, and Chemistry. This should be a tremendously useful reference book as industrial scientists design runs with heterogeneous catalysts, interpret their experimental data, and model the kinetics to describe their results.

This manual of solutions to the problems in "e;Kinetics of Catalytic Reactions"e; has been prepared to assist those who use this book in a teaching function. However, these solutions should also benefit those outside the classroom who want to apply the principles and concepts that are discussed in the book. By studying and observing the approaches used in solving these problems, it is very likely that similar applications can be envisioned in different kinetic problems that the investigator might face. Thus the availability ofthese solutions is a good learning tool for everyone. Additional details and insight about the solutions provided can be obtained by reading the cited references. I have tried to eliminate all errors, both conceptual and typographical, in these solutions; however, the probability is high that I have not succeeded completely. Should any errors of commission (or omission) be found, I would greatly appreciate being informed.

After doing undergraduate work at Michigan State University, and graduate work at Stanford, Dr. Vannice did a post doc at Sun Oil Company before joining Exxon. In 1976 he moved to Pennsylvania State University, where he remains. After holding the M.R. Fenske Professor of Chemical Engineering, he became the W.H. Joyce Chair in Chemical Engineering, which position he holds now. Dr. Vannice belongs to ACS, AIChE, has served first as Secretary and then as Director of the New York Catalysis Society, and has served on the Board of Directors of, as the Vice-President of, and then as President of the North American Catalysis Society. He spent seven years as an Associate Editor of the Journal of Catalysis, and continues on its Editorial Board. Dr. Vannice has received numerous honors from his colleagues, including the Emmett Award (North American Catalysis Society), the Humboldt Senior Research Award, and the Senior Fulbright Award. Dr. Vannice has over 250 publications and 9 patents.
