Volume 136: Natural Gas Conversion VI, 1st Edition

Description

This volume contains peer-reviewed manuscripts describing the scientific and technological advances presented at the 6^th Natural Gas Conversion Sumposium held in Alaska in June 2001. This symposium continues the tradition of excellence and the status as the premier technical meeting in this area established by previous meetings.

The 6^th Natural Gas Conversion Symposium is conducted under the overall direction of the Organizing Committee. The Program Committee was responsible for the review, selection, editing of most of the manuscripts included in this volum. A standing International Advisory Board has ensured the effective long-term planning and the continuity and technical excellence of these meetings.

Readership

For chemical engineers, physical chemists, and catalysis scientists interested in the most up-to-date developments in the field of natural gas conversion.
