Synopsis

This four-volume handbook gives a state-of-the-art overview of porous materials, from synthesis and characterization and simulation all the way to manufacturing and industrial applications. The editors, coming from academia and industry, are known for their didactic skills as well as their technical expertise. Coordinating the efforts of 37 expert authors in 14 chapters, they construct the story of porous carbons, ceramics, zeolites and polymers from varied viewpoints: surface and colloidal science, materials science, chemical engineering, and energy engineering. Volumes 1 and 2 cover the fundamentals of preparation, characterisation, and simulation of porous materials. Working from the fundamentals all the way to the practicalities of industrial production processes, the subjects include hierarchical materials, in situ and operando characterisation using NMR, X-Ray scattering and tomography, state-of-the-art molecular simulations of adsorption and diffusion in crystalline nanoporous materials, as well as the emerging areas of bio-artificing and drug delivery. Volume 3 focuses on porous materials in industrial separation applications, including adsorption separation, membrane separation, and osmotic distillation. Finally, and highly relevant to tomorrow's energy challenges, Volume 4 explains the energy engineering aspects of applying porous materials in supercapacitors, fuel cells, batteries, electrolysers and sub-surface energy applications. The text contains many high-quality colourful illustrations and examples, as well as thousands of up-to-date references to peer-reviewed articles, reports and websites for further reading. This comprehensive and well-written handbook is a must-have reference for universities, research groups and companies working with porous materials.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Vitaly Gitis is Professor of Energy Engineering at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel, where he teaches courses on chemistry, separation processes, and alternative energy sources. His research interests embrace granular and membrane filtration separation processes, multi-layered ceramic membranes, wastewater treatment processes, and colloidal chemistry. Gitis has published over 70 peer-reviewed papers in international journals, co-authored the textbook Ceramic Membranes New Opportunities and Practical Applications, and invented two patents. Since joining BGU he has mentored over 40 graduate students. He serves on several scientific and management committees, including the IWA Specialist Group on Particle Separation. In 2010 he was appointed as Marie Curie Visiting Professor at the University of Amsterdam, and in 2018 he was appointed as Visiting Professor at University of Adelaide.

 

Gadi Rothenberg is Professor and Chair of Heterogeneous Catalysis and Sustainable Chemistry at the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands, where he teaches courses on catalysis and workshops on scientific writing and innovation. His research interests include clean energy, biomass conversion, and creating value from waste. Rothenberg has published two books and over 200 papers in peer-reviewed journals, invented 16 patents, and co-founded the companies Sorbisense, Yellow Diesel and Plantics. His textbook Catalysis: Concepts & Green Applications is used by teachers and students worldwide. The impact of his work is reflected in several distinctions, including the European Commission Marie Curie Excellence Award, the Paul Rylander Award from the Organic Reactions Catalysis Society, and the ""lecturer of the year"" award by the UvA chemistry students. In 2017 he was appointed as Senior Visiting Scholar at Fudan University in Shanghai, and in 2018 he was appointed as Lady Davis Visiting Professor at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Since January 2020 he is also the Technical Director CO and Circular Economy of the Shanghai Institute for CleanTech Innovation.
