Fundamentals of heterogeneous catalysis based on the sub-steps of adsorption, diffusion, reaction, kinetic approaches to heterogeneous catalysis, catalyst concepts with regard to their energetic aspects, steric effects and electronic factors (metals, semiconductors, insulators), experimental methods for characterising the physical and chemical properties of heterogeneous catalysts, e.g. metal oxides and zeolites and their application for catalytic processes in petrochemistry, environmental catalysis and organic/inorganic synthesis
