OverviewContemporary Catalysis: Fundamentals and Current Applications deals with the fundamentals and modern practical applications of catalysis. Topics addressed include historical development and the importance of heterogeneous catalysis in the modern world, surfaces and adsorption, the catalyst (preparation and characterization), the reactor (integral and differential reactors, etc.), and an introduction to spectroscopic and thermal characterization techniques. Building on this foundation, the book continues with chapters on important industrial processes, potential processes and separate chapters on syngas production, Fischer Tropsch synthesis, petroleum refining, environmental protection, and biomass conversion. Contemporary Catalysis is an essential resource for chemists, physical chemists, and chemical engineers, as well as graduate and post graduate students in catalysis and reaction engineering.

Catalysis in Biomass Conversion Appendix: The Use of the Catalysis LiteratureReviewsThe author's motivation for writing a textbook on heterogeneous catalysis was to provide the experience of a recognized expert for the young generation of chemists in a form that they would best appreciate, by making full use of the tools offered by the internet for learning and for literature work: Wikipedia, e-journals, searching into the past and towards the presence, the rating of publications through citation indices, etc. A variety of student tasks requiring literature work on various topics is an integral part of the book, which makes its structure very open. An experienced teacher who might disagree with the author about details of emphasis can nevertheless use the book for a course with his or her own priorities. This is new and a real achievement. However, the book certainly reflects the authors teaching priorities, because it has to be useful also in the hands of less advanced tutors or of the students themselves. --Angewandte Chemie Int. Ed. 2012, 51, 5289 Author InformationJulian Ross is a Physical Chemist with wide experience in the field of heterogeneous catalysis applied particularly to the conversion of hydrocarbons and to environmental protection. He was the founding editor of Catalysis Today and acted as Senior Editor of that journal for almost 30 years. He holds two Honorary Visiting Professorships in China where he has lectured frequently. Julian Ross has had wide experience assessing projects associated with energy and the environment, for example, for EU programmes. He was a member of the Council of Scientists of INTAS (funding projects in the former Soviet Union) and was its Chairman for three years during its final three years of operation. He was also for a number of years a member of the European Research Council panel assessing Advanced Grant proposals on engineering topics. He is a Member of the Royal Irish Academy (MRIA) and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC). Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
