Fermentation microbiology and biotechnology, 2nd edn
F O C U S reactants and the catalyst are contacted in a counter-current column having no moving parts. In the second, an oligomer of the olefin is used instead of the monomeric olefin, which is more energy-efficient. US 7,319,180, Catalytic Distillation Technologies, Pasadena, TX, USA, 15 Jan 2008

In my January editorial I listed (by first author) 14 books published on catalysts in 2007 and 8 on enzymes. I now find that there were 14 additional new books on catalysts (Astruc,

C ATA LY S T S
Bargon, Centi, Chorkendorff, Corain, Eguchi, Gates, Glorius, Granger, Meyer, Niemansverdriet, Occelli, van Bekkum, Xu), of which 3 were new editions, and one new book on enzymes (Ramirez-Corredores). I hope to report briefly on all these in the coming months. The source of this new information was ‘Global Books in Print’, which is easier to search than is the British Library (shelves or catalogue).
Fermentation microbiology and biotechnology, 2nd edn An elegant book by 21 contributors from 7 countries. But it assumes a
considerable knowledge of biochemistry in its readers. EMT El-Mansi, CFA Bryce, AL Demain, and AR Allman, 2007, CRC Press, Boca Raton, USA, ISBN 0-84935334-3, 544 pp, £40
The chemistry and technology of petroleum, 4th edn A remarkable book to have been written by a single author, describing the technology of the entire industry. But it makes no reference to modern solid acid catalysts for alkylation. JG Speight, 2006, CRC Press, Boca Raton, USA, ISBN 978-0-8493-9067-8, 945 pp, £160
