About the Author

Since 1997 Krijn de Jong is Full Professor of Inorganic Chemistry and Catalysis at Utrecht University. Before that he worked in industry for
15 years. His current research interests are catalyst preparation, electron tomography (3D-TEM), diffusion and catalysis with zeolites and
mesoporous materials, solid base catalysts, nanostructured carbon materials, Fischer-Tropsch catalysis and hydrogen storage. He has
authored over 150 papers and is the inventor for more than 25 patents.

Reviews

"In short, the volume is precisely what the solid catalysis field needs. It is a convincing and well-written text exploring complex ideas in a coherent and logical way, without simplification. The use of case studies provides valuable contexts for the application of diverse ideas and constructs." ( Current Engineering Practice , 2010)
