Heterogeneous Hydrocarbon Oxidation (Acs Symposium Series,)

Compares and contrasts complete combustion and partial oxidation. Critically reviews the latest theories on oxidation, and the factors that determine selectivity. Presents the latest advances in alkane oxidation, including methane activation. Describes novel methods of catalyst preparation and characterization. Provides examples of oxidation by nontraditional oxidants like ozone, hydrogen peroxide, sulfates/nitrates, and light.
