9781402007200: Principles and Methods for Accelerated Catalyst Design & Testing

Synopsis

High throughput experimentation has met great success in drug design but it has, so far, been scarcely used in the field ofcatalysis. We present in this book the outcome of a NATO ASI meeting that was held in Vilamoura, Portugal, between July 15 and 28, 2001, with the objective of delineating and consolidating the principles and methods underpinning accelerated catalyst design, evaluation, and development. There is a need to make the underlying principles of this new methodology more widely understood and to make it available in a coherent and integrated format. The latter objective is particularly important to the young scientists who will constitute the new catalysis researchers generation. Indeed, this field which is at the frontier offundamental science and may be a renaissance for catalysis, is one which is much more complex than classical catalysis itself. It implies a close collaboration between scientists from many disciplines (chemistry, physics, chemical and mechanical engineering, automation, robotics, and scientific computing in general). In addition, this emerging area of science is also of paramount industrial importance, as progress in this area would collapse the time necessary to discover new catalysts or improve existing ones.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The pace of development in the chemical industry is increasing steadily, bringing with it a corresponding need to develop catalysts as rapidly as possible. High throughput experimentation has had great success in drug design but hitherto it has scarcely been used in the catalysis field. There is thus a need to make the underlying principles of this methodology more widely understood, in a coherent, integrated format. The present book fulfils such a need as it delineates and consolidates the principles and methods underlying accelerated catalyst design and testing. The main challenges for progress in the field are also identified. An indispensable book for all those working in catalytic process analysis and development, in industry and the academic laboratory. Contains an extensive review of catalytic principles, making the book also suitable for postgraduate students seeking to pursue a career in the catalysis field.
