Synopsis

This practical book combines recent progress with a discussion of the general aspects of catalyst preparation. The first part deals with the basic principles of solid catalyst preparation, explaining the main aspects of sol-gel chemistry and interfacial chemistry, followed by such techniques as co-precipitation and immobilization. New tools for catalyst preparation research, including microspectroscopy and high-throughput experimentation, are also taken into account. The second part heightens the practical relevance by providing six case studies on such topics as the preparation of zeolites, hydrotreating catalysts, methanol catalysts and gold catalysts

About this title

Review:

"In short, the volume is precisely what the solid catalysis field needs. It is a convincing and well-written text exploring complex ideas in a coherent and logical way, without simplification. The use of case studies provides valuable contexts for the application of diverse ideas and constructs." (Current Engineering Practice, 2010)

From the Back Cover:

The worldwide market for heterogeneous catalysts amounts to about 12 billion US$ per year. The use of these catalysts in energy conversion, chemicals manufacturing and environmental processes saves time and money, expanding the margin generated by an estimated 100-300 times. Heterogeneous catalysts may be considered the most important nanostructured materials and their preparation is thus of paramount importance.

The second part heightens the practical relevance by providing ten case studies on such hot topics as the preparation of zeolites, hydrotreating catalysts, methanol catalyst and gold catalysts.
