Catalysis


en Hardback – 7 mai 2018
Catalysts are required for a variety of applications and industrialists and academics are increasingly challenged to find cost effective and environmentally benign catalysts to use. This volume looks at modern approaches to catalysis and reviews the extensive literature on areas such as catalysts derived from waste materials, determining the pore structure of activated carbon by nitrogen gas adsorption and catalytic aftertreatment systems for trucks fueled by biofuels.

Professor Spivey's research interests include the application of the principles of heterogeneous catalysis to catalytic combustion, control of sulfur and nitrogen oxides from combustion processes, acid/base catalysis (e.g., for condensation reactions), hydrocarbon synthesis, and the study of catalyst deactivation.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

The current volume of this series focuses on a number of different areas of our discipline. As in past volumes, the number of chapters related to energy and fuel conversion continue to reflect the importance of these areas to researchers and funding agencies. Chapters presented here also deal with material synthesis (e.g., zeolites) and fundamental catalyst properties (e.g., cluster size effects). First, Arno de Klerk (U. Alberta, Canada) reviews two types of acid catalysts for upgrading of Fischer–Tropsch syncrude. Roberto Lanza, Jorge Velasco and Sven Järås (KTH, Stockholm) examine recent literature on partial oxidation of methane and the effect of steam this reaction. John Kuhn (U. South Florida, USA) reports on noble metal catalysts for deep hydrodesulfurization. Tatsuo Matsushima (Hokkaido Univ., Japan) and Kosuke Shobatake (Nagoya Univ., Japan) show how a technique known as angle-resolved product desorption can be used as a direct approach to probe the active sites responsible for product formation or active intermediates. Dmitry Murzin (Abo Akademi Univ., Finland) and Valentin Parmon (Boreskov Institute., Russia) review the subject of metal cluster size effects in heterogeneous catalysis. Vasile Parvelscu (U. Bucharest, Romania) and Hermenegildo Garcia (U. Politecnica de Valencia, Spain) discuss developments in the widely studied area of photocatalysis, especially for destruction of toxic compounds. D. P. Serrano and J. M. Escola (U. Rey Juan Carlos, Spain), along with J. Aguado (IMDEA Energy Institute, Spain) review a class of materials known as hierarchical zeolites. Eduardo Sousa-Aguiar (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and Lucia Appel (National Technology Institute, Brazil) examine recent studies on the catalytic reactions leading to dimethyl ether (DME), and its use as a fuel additive, among others. Finally, Mizuki Tada (Institute for Molecular Science, Japan) discusses selective oxidation on rhenium-based catalysts. This chapter reviews attempts to minimize sublimation (e.g., with Sb or NH3), and highlights reactions such as selective oxidation and ammoxidation of isobutylene.
