Description
Book SynopsisThere is an increasing need to find cost-effective and environmentally sound methods of converting natural resources into fuels, chemicals and energy; catalysts are pivotal to such processes. Catalysis highlights major developments in this area. Coverage of this Specialist Periodical Report includes all major areas of heterogeneous catalysis. n each volume, specific areas of current interest are reviewed. Examples of topics include experimental methods, acid/base catalysis, materials synthesis, environmental catalysis, and syngas conversion.
Table of ContentsPreface; Key catalyst types for the efficient refining of Fischer–Tropsch syncrude: alumina and phosphoric acid; Recent developments and achievements in partial oxidation of methane with and without addition of steam; Precious metal catalysts for deep hydrodesulfurization; Catalytic reactions studied by angle-resolved product desorption; Quantification of cluster size effect (structure sensitivity) in heterogeneous catalysis; Photocatalysis in green chemistry and destruction of very toxic compounds; Hierarchical zeolites: materials with improved accessibility and enhanced catalytic activity; Catalysis involved in dimethylether production and as an intermediate in the generation of hydrocarbons via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and MTG process; Selective oxidation catalysis on rhenium-oxide catalysts
