Description
|
Catalysis is central to the chemical industry, as it is directly or involved in the production of almost all useful chemical products. A catalyst, in simplest terms, is a material that enhances the rate and selectivity of a chemical reaction. This textbook combines the fundamentals of catalysis with industrial practice. Starting with a detailed account of the fundamental of catalytic processes, including chemistry, catalyst preparation, properties and reaction engineering, the authors consider the main heterogeneous catalytic processes employed by industry. In the second section, the author provides detailed data on existing catalysts and catalytic reactions, process design and chemical engineering. In addition, homogenous catalysis, environmental catalysis and the use of catalysts in the production of polymers are fully documented. Throughout the book the information is illustrated with many case studies and problems.
