Contemporary Catalysis: Fundamental Aspects of the Preparation, Characterisation and Testing of Heterogeneous Catalysts and their Application in Catalytic Processes

Contemporary Catalysis: Fundamental Aspects of the Preparation, Characterisation and Testing of Heterogeneous Catalysts and their Application in Catalytic Processes deals with the fundamentals and modern practical applications of catalysis. Topics addressed in the first section include historical development and the importance of heterogeneous catalysis in the modern world, surfaces and adsorption, the catalyst (preparation and characterization), the reactor (integral and differential reactors, etc.), an introduction to spectroscopic and thermal characterization techniques, and more. The second section contains chapters on important industrial processes, potential processes and separate chapters on syngas production, Fischer Tropsch synthesis, petroleum refining, environmental protection and biomass conversion. Covers all aspects of catalysis in a carefully organized textIncludes material on historical development and personalities involvedPresents concepts that are illustrated by practical examplesProvides a wide range of problems and solutions, case studies and supplementary, web based materials that are regularly updated INDICE: 1. Historical introduction and the current importance of heterogeneous catalysis 2. Catalyst preparation and characterisation 3. Kinetics and Mechanism 4. CO2 and energy 5. The production and uses of hydrogen
