Synopsis

Catalysis is the crucial step in the production of most chemicals. Furthermore, it is indispensable in research and environmental protection. Despite the fact that more than 80 per cent of production processes in industry are catalyzed, most chemists and engineers are restricted to trial and error when searching for a catalyst. They usually suffer from a lack of a scientific basis that would allow a systematic development of catalysts. The present book covers both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, with emphasis on industrial processes. Environmental aspects and economic data are also taken into account. Each chapter provides plenty of examples. Many exercises help to test and consolidate knowledge of the topics. Thus this book is the first on industrial catalysis that is suitable for private study. Practitioners will also find further valuable information, such as simulation of reactors for catalysis. You will not find a comparable book on industrial catalysis!!!

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Despite the fact that more than 90% of production processes in industry are catalyzed, most chemists and engineers are restricted to trial and error when searching for the proper catalyst. This book is the first to emphasize the industrial aspects of catalysis and is also particularly well suited for self–study. It is dedicated to both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis and this second edition also includes biocatalysis, electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, asymmetric catalysis and fine chemicals manufacture: In addition, topics such as zeolites, metals, olefin catalysis and environmental catalysis are now discussed in more detail. The book aids practically oriented readers in familiarizing themselves with the processes of catalyst development and testing and therefore deals with aspects of test planning, optimization and reactor modeling and simulation using the easy–to–learn PC program POLYMATH. Finally, well over 100 exercises help to test and consolidate the gained knowledge.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Despite the fact that more than 90% of production processes in industry are catalyzed, most chemists and engineers are restricted to trial and error when searching for the proper catalyst. This book is the first emphasizing industrial aspects of catalysis and also particularly well suited to studying on one′s own. It is dedicated to both, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis and in this second, edition biocatalysis, electrocatalysis, photocatalysis and asymmetric catalysis are also included; topics like zeolites, metals and olefin catalysis are now discussed in more detail. The book aids practically oriented readers in becoming familiar with the processes of catalyst development and testing and therefore deals with aspects of test planning, optimization and reactor modeling and simulation with the easy–to–learn PC program POLYMATH. Well over 100 exercises help to test and consolidate the gained knowledge.
