For those new to the field, some foundational texts offer a comprehensive introduction:
- "Introduction to Catalysis and Industrial Catalytic Processes" by Robert J. Farrauto, Lucas Dorazio, and C. H. Bartholomew provides a solid foundation in both theory and practice, covering industrial applications. - "Catalysis: Concepts and Green Applications" by Gadi Rothenberg focuses on the principles of catalysis while also emphasizing its role in sustainable processes.
