Tempature-Programmed Reduction for Solid Materials Characterization

The only current, comprehensive book of its kind, this single-source reference brings together all the work to date on Temperature-Programmed Reduction (TPR), a relatively new technique -- involving low capital investment -- that facilitates fast and easy access to information about the precise condition of species present in and on solids. Temperature-Programmed Reduction for Solid Materials Characterization provides details of practical approaches in the use of TPR ... diagrams of both equipment and results produced ... descriptions of the parametric sensitivity of TPR and instrumentation used for its measurement ... up-to-date accounts of theory, practice, and published work on TPR ... various applications in numerous scientific fields, especially the characterization of catalysts ... and discussions of developing trends and future directions in temperature programming. Temperature-Programmed Reduction for Solid Materials Characterization serves as an indispensable sourcebook for chemical, industrial process, and petrochemical engineers; analytical, polymer, and materials chemists; metallurgists; and students in undergraduate- and graduate-level courses concerned with materials characterization, such as physical chemistry, analytical science, and materials science.
