Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book will be of benefit to those working in the immediate area of catalytic pollution control, as well as those concerned with broader aspects of environmental chemistry both at the professional and student levels. Librarians are encouraged to ensure this volume is on their shelves." (Platinum Metals Review, March 2010)

From the Back Cover

The chemistry of superacids deals with acid systems stronger than conventional strong mineral Bronsted acids such as sulfuric acid and Lewis acids such as aluminum trichloride. The first edition of Superacid Chemistry, published in 1985, quickly became the definitive work in the field. Since that time, however, the field has grown exponentially, with the development of new superacid systems and innovative superacid applications. This Second Edition of Superacid Chemistry has been published to bring the acclaimed book fully up to date with all these new developments.

Superacid Chemistry features a team of pioneering authors in the field headed by George Olah, the 1994 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry. The book covers:

• General aspects of superacid chemistry, including types of superacids and experimental techniques for acidity measurements
• Superacid systems, including primary, binary, ternary, and solid superacids
• Carbocations in superacids, including methods of generating carbocations in superacids and methods and techniques in the study of carbocations
• Heterocations in superacids, including onium ions, enium ions, homo-,and heteropolyatomic cations, and cations of group 6-12 elements
• Superacid catalyzed reactions, including conversion of saturated hydrocarbons and alkylation of aromatic hydrocarbons

Extensive references are provided throughout the book to guide readers to the primary literature for further in-depth investigations. In short, this Second Edition meets the growing need for current information on superacid chemistry among researchers in inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry in order to support and advance their research.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'd like to translate this book to korean., April 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Catalytic Air Pollution Control: Commercial Technology (Hardcover)

I am a korean graduate school student majoring environmental eng'g. I think this book is very useful to students who study environmental eng'g, chemical eng'g and automobil eng'g and researchers who work motor companines. There are fundamental information about the catalyst of air pollution control and principals of fuel combustion and production of pollutants from emission and so on. So I'd like to translate this book to korean.
