Synopsis

Homogeneous Carbonylation and Hydroformylation Reactions, a volume is in the Advances in Homogeneous Catalysis series, is split into two sections. The first covers the homogeneous carbonylation of various chemicals, such as methanol, methyl acetate, esters, and ethers. In addition, some common carbonylation homogeneous processes such as water-gas shift and Fischer–Tropsch reactions are included. The second part describes hydroformylation processes like cobalt and rhodium based reactions. Both parts cover the design of catalytic reactors, industrial applications, economic assessment and environmental impacts, providing detailed discussions of the subject from both a chemistry and engineering perspective.

• Includes fundamentals, reactor design, and process description of carbonylation and hydroformylation homogeneous reactions
• Describes various carbonylation and hydroformylation homogeneous reactions
• Explains carbonylation and hydroformylation economic and environmental challenges

About this title

About the Authors

Prof. Mohammad Reza Rahimpour is a professor in Chemical Engineering at Shiraz University, Iran. He received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Shiraz University joint with University of Sydney, Australia 1988. He started his independent career as Assistant Professor in September 1998 at Shiraz University. Prof. M.R. Rahimpour, was a Research Associate at University of California, Davis from 2012 till 2017. During his stay in University of California, he developed different reaction networks and catalytic processes such as thermal and plasma reactors for upgrading of lignin bio-oil to biofuel with collaboration of UCDAVIS. He has been a Chair of Department of Chemical Engineering at Shiraz University from 2005 till 2009 and from 2015 till 2020. Prof. M.R. Rahimpour leads a research group in fuel processing technology focused on the catalytic conversion of fossil fuels such as natural gas, and renewable fuels such as bio-oils derived from lignin to valuable energy sources. He provides young distinguished scholars with perfect educational opportunities in both experimental methods and theoretical tools in developing countries to investigate in-depth research in the various field of chemical engineering including carbon capture, chemical looping, membrane separation, storage and utilization technologies, novel technologies for natural gas conversion and improving the energy efficiency in the production and use of natural gas industries.

Dr. Mohammad Amin Makarem is an Adjunct Lecturer at the School of Engineering, Taylor’s University, Malaysia, with a PhD in Chemical
Engineering from Shiraz University, Iran. Although his research spans gas separation and purification, green energy, nanofluids, microfluidics, and catalyst synthesis, Dr. Makarem has also established a strong reputation as an editor and contributor to scholarly publishing.

He has served as Editor or Co-editor for numerous books, book series, and major reference works published by well-known academic publishers. His editorial contributions encompass a wide range of scientific and engineering disciplines, including carbon capture and storage, bioenergy, greenhouse gases, hydrotreating technologies, oily wastewater, crises in chemical industries, hydrogen energy, methanol production, homogeneous catalysis, nanofluids, synthesis gas, natural gas, and renewable energy systems. Through these efforts, he has
helped shape authoritative resources that serve as critical references for researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers worldwide. By combining his deep technical expertise with editorial leadership, Dr. Makarem continues to advance knowledge dissemination in chemical engineering and energy sciences, supporting the global scientific community through high-impact publishing initiatives.

Tayebeh Roostaie is a research associate at Shiraz University. Her research has focused on catalyst, clean energy, biofuel, demulsification and membrane. In the clean energy field, she has worked on hydrogen production. She has also synthesized novel catalysts for this process which are tested in a laboratory reactor. Recently, she has written various book chapters for famous publishers such as Elsevier.

Maryam Meshksar is a research associate at Shiraz University. Her research has focused on gas separation, clean energy, and catalyst synthesis. In gas separation, she is working on membrane separation process, and in the clean energy field, she has worked on reforming-based processes for hydrogen production from methane experimentally. She has also synthesized novel catalysts for this process which are tested in for the first time. Recently, she has written various book chapters for famous publishers such as Elsevier, Springer and Wiley
