Catalysis, the speeding up of a chemical reaction by a substance which itself does not react, is vital not only to the chemical process industry, but also to life itself. This ''Encyclopedia of Catalysis'' is designed to be a definitive A-to-Z reference work on this subject. ''Encyclopedia of Catalysis'' is being published on-line first and then in print as a 4-volume A-to-Z reference work in an area of growing international interest and concern. This work brings together the various and diverse material on catalysis and catalytic systems in a form that is easily acessible to process personnel as well as to those involved in both basic and applied research and development
