β¦ Synopsis
interesting mix of reactions and processes that illustrate the diversity of chemical reactions that employ the types of catalysts mentioned above.
The book closes with three appendices that deal with membranes, monoliths, and reactors. These three short presentations provide brief introductions t o continuous-flow devices. There is nothing new in these sections that have not been presented in detail in many texts on reaction engineering.
Overall, I find this book t o be a useful source of information concerning heterogeneous catalysis for fine chemicals. The presentation by Prof. Tundo is timely, since the number and complexity of reactions peformed by heterogeneous catalysts is burgeoning, and it concisely organizes many useful organic syntheses into a single reference.
