Catalytic Science Series - Vol. 4

ISOTOPES IN HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSIS

edited by Justin S J Hargreaves, S David Jackson & Geoff Webb (University of Glasgow, UK)

The purpose of this book is to review the current, state-of-the-art application of isotopic methods to the field of heterogeneous catalysis. Isotopic studies are arguably the ultimate technique in in situ methods for heterogeneous catalysis. In this review volume, chapters have been contributed by experts in the field and the coverage includes both the application of specific isotopes — Deuterium, Tritium, Carbon-14, Sulfur-35 and Oxygen-18 — as well as isotopic techniques — determination of surface mobility, steady state transient isotope kinetic analysis, and positron emission profiling.


Contents:

  • Deuterium-Labelling in Mechanistic Studies on Heterogeneous Acid-Base Catalysts (J Sommer & S Walspurger)
  • Application of 14C Radiotracer for the Study of Heterogeneous Catalytic Reactions (Z Paál)
  • Use of 35S Radiotracer in Catalytic Studies (P Tétényi)
  • Tritium in Catalysis (J R Jones & S-Y Lu)
  • Isotopic Exchange of Oxygen Over Oxide Surfaces (J S J Hargreaves & I M Mellor)
  • Oxygen and Hydrogen Surface Mobility in Supported Metal Catalysts. Study by 18O/16O and 2H/1H Exchange (D Duprez)
  • Investigation of Reaction at the Site Level Using SSITKA (S Pansare, A Sirijaruphan & J G Goodwin, Jr.)
  • Positron Emission Profiling — The Ammonia Oxidation Reaction as a Case Study (A M de Jong, E J M Hensen & R A van Santen)


Readership: Academic and researchers, as well as postgraduate students in catalysis.
