Referee's Report by [Eric Keightley] Rideal on a paper 'Heterogenous catalysis and enzyme reactions' by [Edward Charles Cyril] Baly

Reference number: RR/W/6/106

Date: 22 December 1938

Description

Paper reference code: A.193

Sectional committee: Chemistry

The paper is interesting but 'very speculative'. States that the discussion at the start of the paper has been 'treated in a much simpler way by [Cyril Norman] Hinshelwood, [George-Maris] Schwab and others'. Highlights a factual inaccuracy and references work of [V K] La Mer.

[Not published].
