"Soustelle (emeritus, heterogenous kinetics, Ecole NationaleSupérieure des Mines, France) offers an extensive overview ofthe theoretical and experimental basis of heterogenous kinetics andits application to the study of solids reactivity. The fieldintegrates physical, theoretical, and computational elements ofchemistry and materials science. The book's contents are based oncourses given for undergraduates and master's students in chemicalengineering." (Book News, September 2010)
Heterogeneous Kinematics Handbook
von Michel SoustelleThis book presents all the theoretical and practical basements ofheterogeneous kinetics and reactivity of solids. It applies the newconcepts of reactivity and spatial function, introduced by theauthor, for both nucleation and growth processes, witha unified presentation of the reactivity of bulk and powdersolids, including gas-solid reactions, thermal decompositions, solid-solid reactions, reactions of solid solutions, andcoalescence of solid grains. It also contains many exercisesand problems with solutions included, allowing readers tounderstand and use all the concepts and methods discussed therein.
