Written for students and researchers in the fields of chemical and materials engineering, this collection of scientific papers investigates chemical reactions on catalytic surfaces and how these conditions can affect the environment in positive and negative ways. Editors Duncan and Klein (no affiliations given) have assembled the latest research in the field, covering such topics as CO oxidation over gold catalysts at low temperatures, kinetic reactions of calcium-based sorbents and the chemical modifications of carbon materials with fluorine. The emergence of surface chemistry as a discipline is also reviewed, especially with respect to the semiconductor industry.
