Description
Book SynopsisA catalyst is a substance which alters rate at which a chemical reaction occurs but is itself unchanged at the end of the reaction. This book includes approximately 40 proceduces describing the use of different catalysts.
Trade Review"Everyone who is concerned with...pure compounds will be able to use this handy book..." (
