The Nobel prizes awarded in the field of physical chemistry, kinetics, and catalysis (Table 1.4) reflect the ongoing scientific progress in these fields. Nobel prizes for heterogeneous catalytic reactions have been awarded in the early part of this century. Many current major catalytic processes still owe their origin to that period. In the middle of this century, organometallic systems and inorganic coordination complexes formed the basis of catalytic innovations. In the last two decades, the application of zeolites has been the basis of several new processes. 

Within physical chemistry, the long-lasting interest in IR spectroscopy lies in structural and dynamical characterization. Fligh resolution vibration-rotation spectroscopy in the gas phase reveals bond lengths, bond angles, molecular symmetry and force constants. Time-resolved IR spectroscopy characterizes reaction kinetics, vibrational lifetimes and relaxation processes.

The scientific basis of extractive metallurgy is inorganic physical chemistry, mainly chemical thermodynamics and kinetics (see Thermodynamic properties). Metallurgical engineering reties on basic chemical engineering science, material and energy balances, and heat and mass transport. Metallurgical systems, however, are often complex. Scale-up from the bench to the commercial plant is more difficult than for other chemical processes. 

These pioneers understood the interplay between chemical equiUbrium and reaction kinetics indeed, Haber s research, motivated by the development of a commercial process, helped to spur the development of the principles of physical chemistry that account for the effects of temperature and pressure on chemical equiUbrium and kinetics. The ammonia synthesis reaction is strongly equiUbrium limited. The equiUbrium conversion to ammonia is favored by high pressure and low temperature. Haber therefore recognized that the key to a successful process for making ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen was a catalyst with a high activity to allow operation at low temperatures where the equiUbrium is relatively favorable. 

As with the case of energy input, detergency generally reaches a plateau after a certain wash time as would be expected from a kinetic analysis. In a practical system, each of its numerous components has a different rate constant, hence its rate behavior generally does not exhibit any simple pattern. Many attempts have been made to fit soil removal (50) rates in practical systems to the usual rate equations of physical chemistry. The rate of soil removal in the Launder-Ometer could be reasonably well described by the equation of a first-order chemical reaction, ie, the rate was proportional to the amount of removable soil remaining on the fabric (51,52). In a study of soil removal rates from artificially soiled fabrics in the Terg-O-Tometer, the percent soil removal increased linearly with the log of cumulative wash time.

This book will be of major interest to researchers in industry and in academic institutions as a reference source on the factors which control radical polymerization and as an aid in designing polymer syntheses. It is also intended to serve as a text for graduate students in the broad area of polymer chemistry. The book places an emphasis on reaction mechanisms and the organic chemistry of polymerization. It also ties in developments in polymerization kinetics and physical chemistry of the systems to provide a complete picture of this most important subject. 

By tradition, electrochemistry has been considered a branch of physical chemistry devoted to macroscopic models and theories. We measure macroscopic currents, electrodic potentials, consumed charges, conductivities, admittance, etc. All of these take place on a macroscopic scale and are the result of multiple molecular, atomic, or ionic events taking place at the electrode/electrolyte interface. Great efforts are being made by electrochemists to show that in a century where the most brilliant star of physical chemistry has been quantum chemistry, electrodes can be studied at an atomic level and elemental electron transfers measured.1 The problem is that elemental electrochemical steps and their kinetics and structural consequences cannot be extrapolated to macroscopic and industrial events without including the structure of the surface electrode. 

The last chapter in this introductory part covers the basic physical chemistry that is required for using the rest of the book. The main ideas of this chapter relate to basic thermodynamics and kinetics. The thermodynamic conditions determine whether a reaction will occur spontaneously, and if so whether the reaction releases energy and how much of the products are produced compared to the amount of reactants once the system reaches thermodynamic equilibrium. Kinetics, on the other hand, determine how fast a reaction occurs if it is thermodynamically favorable. In the natural environment, we have systems for which reactions would be thermodynamically favorable, but the kinetics are so slow that the system remains in a state of perpetual disequilibrium. A good example of one such system is our atmosphere, as is also covered later in Chapter 7. As part of the presentation of thermodynamics, a section on oxidation-reduction (redox) is included in this chapter. This is meant primarily as preparation for Chapter 16, but it is important to keep this material in mind for the rest of the book as well, since redox reactions are responsible for many of the elemental transitions in biogeochemical cycles.

We have now expressed liin terms of 2.2 but we still need to determine what A2 is-We can do this by relating the above equation to something known from thermodynamics. If we do so [see, for example, R.A. van Santen and J.W. Niemantsverdriet, Chemical Kinetics and Catalysis (1995), Plenum, New York, or P.W. Atkins, Physical Chemistry (1998) Oxford University Press, Oxford] we find that I2 equals 1/T and that the above quantity is simply the partition function q. For the interested reader we justify choosing 2.2 equal to 1/T in the following section.

Model formulation. After the objective of modelling has been defined, a preliminary model is derived. At first, independent variables influencing the process performance (temperature, pressure, catalyst physical properties and activity, concentrations, impurities, type of solvent, etc.) must be identified based on the chemists knowledge about reactions involved and theories concerning organic and physical chemistry, mainly kinetics. Dependent variables (yields, selectivities, product properties) are defined. Although statistical models might be better from a physical point of view, in practice, deterministic models describe the vast majority of chemical processes sufficiently well. In principle model equations are derived based on the conservation law ...

The experimentalist often formulates a mathematical model in order to describe the observed behavior. In general, the model consists of a set of equations based on the principles of chemistry, physics, thermodynamics, kinetics and transport phenomena and attempts to predict the variables, y, that are being measured. In general, the measured variables y are a function of x. Thus, the model has the following form...
