Description
Book SynopsisTreats the important area of surface chemistry - or what happens on a molecular level when one substance comes in contact with another. Provides an understanding of the principles which govern adsorption and reactions of gases on solid surfaces. Describes what occurs and why processes happen the way they do, including discussions of applications.
