Adopting a didactic approach at an advanced, masters level, this concise textbook provides an array of questions & answers and features numerous industrialcase studies and examples, with references for further, more detailed readingand to the latest peer-reviewed articles at the end of each chapter. A significant feature is the book's treatment of more recently developed catalytic processes and their applications in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries, with an indication of their present and future commercial impact. Written by a dedicated lecturer with a wealth of experience in industry, this is an invaluable tool for practicing chemical engineers and chemists who need to advance their education in this vibrant and expanding field.
