The six sections following the overview chapter deal with aspects of selective oxidation that range from theories and concepts to state-of-the-art engineering applications. Several chapters describe the synthesis, characterization, and performance of potentially attractive new catalytic materials. These catalysts range from single crystals with well-defined crystal faces to highly dispersed or amorphous solids. Most of the actual catalytic reactions studied involve the oxidation of hydrocarbons in the range from to C. ... 

Bacon used the mechanical arts (engineering) to inspire the reformulation of natural philosophy, but modem memories are short and tend to think of science as the master discipline. An analogous historical inversion has occurred in business. In business today, enterprise is mn by a professional class of trained managers, and engineers are viewed merely as one instrument of a larger capitalist enterprise. It wasn t always this way. 

Chemistry offers so many more possibilities than Arts. Engineering would, of course, be the ideal faculty for this attractive woman, but — it simply isn t done 39... 

A rough estimation for the process industries based on experiences with AVP would be, state of the art engineering systems can deliver 1-10% of turnover in net, recurring additional benefits. The industry generally validates between 10 and 50% of this claim. A conservative estimation is that 10% is directly attributed to applied thermodynamics. This gives a net, recurrent benefit range of 0.01-0.5% of turnover of the process industries, being 600 M to 30 B for a 6 trillion industry.

Designing for Safety (DFS) is a principle for design planning for new facilities, equipment, and operations (public and private) to conserve human and natural resources, and thereby protect people, property and the environment. DFS advocates systematic process to ensure state-of-the-art engineering and management principles are used and incorporated into the design of facilities and overall operations to assure safety and health of workers, as well as protection of the environment and compliance with current codes and standards.
