Provides an explanation of the basic principles and terminology that are required to understand the application of Fischer Tropsch (FT) technology. This book focuses on theory and application, and is a contemporary reference source for students studying chemistry and chemical engineering.
Addressing global environmental problems, such as global warming is essential to global sustainability. This book presents scientific discussions on the challenges in the development of carbon dioxide utilization. It is suitable for students, researchers and consultants looking for the developments in environmental and chemical engineering.
Concentrates on industrially relevant reactions which are catalyzed by heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts. This book includes chapters on biocatalysis, catalyst characterization and adsorption methods. It also reflects the multidisciplinary nature of catalysis.
Catalysis has proven to be the best solution to lower the content of exhaust gas in pollutants. This title discusses such topics as: low light-off behaviour based on improved catalysts and substrate formulations; efficient adsorber systems for storage of hydrocarbon emissions; and, electrically heated catalyst systems ahead the main catalyst.
A review of new zeolites, related microporous materials and composites that act as molecular sieves. This volume covers their applications, the testing of new processes and techniques and outlines promising laboratory results that could lead to further applications.
Contains manuscripts describing the scientific and technological advances presented at the 6th Natural Gas Conversion Sumposium held in Alaska in June 2001.
Covers a broad range of topics like fundamental aspects of surface chemistry, in particular dynamics and spillover, the modeling of reaction mechanisms, with a focus on the importance of transient experimentation and the application of kinetics in reactor design. This book represents fundamental and applied kinetic studies.
The symposium 'Reaction Kinetics and the Development of Catalytic Processes' is the continuation of the very successful International Symposium "Dynamics of Surfaces and Reaction Kinetics in Heterogeneous Catalysis", held in September 1997 in Antwerp, Belgium.
Covers the proceedings of the VIIth International Symposium on the Scientific Bases for the Preparation of Heterogeneous Catalysts.
Focuses on the purpose of the conference to discuss the results of developments and prospect in science and technology of the field. This book covers the key issues and materials related to the conference such as: molecular assemblies in solutions; fine particles and colloidal dispersions; supramolecular organized films; and more.
The first symposium on Access in Nanoporous Materials was held in 1995. Since then, impressive progress has been achieved in the area of novel self-assembled mesoporous materials, their synthesis, characterization and applications. This volume contains papers which were delivered at the symposium held in 2000.
In order to provide opportunity for crossfertilization the Federation of European Zeolite Associations (FEZA) decided to organise a conference, where researchers from academia and industry can meet, exchange ideas, show and discuss research efforts and results concerning the development of environmentally friendly processes and technologies.
Covers topics which highlight the salient features of nanocrystalline semiconductor materials. This book provides synthetic strategies to generate ultrasmall particles, films and wires. It describes the characterization methodologies of a large number of nanomaterials from the molecular level to the long-range crystallographic ordering.
Provides examples of MMS based catalysts of many types such as acid-base solids, supported metals and supported oxides, mixed oxides, anchored complexes and clusters, grafted organic functional groups and others. Examples of all these developments are documented in the proceedings including some proposals.
Provides studies in catalyst deactivation that play a major role in the identification of the real catalytic system, the structure and texture of the solid, often in a metastable state, as it is operated in the industrial reactor. These studies allow the identification of the experimental conditions which preserve this active and selective state.
The First Asian Polyolefin Workshop introduces the developments and the research activities on polyolefin technology in Asia. This book includes contributions by almost all the distinguished scientists in Asian countries. It contains papers not only from academia but also from industry.
Includes papers presented at the 2nd International Workshop on Oxide-based Systems at the Crossroads of Chemistry, held at Villa Olmo in Como, Italy, 8-11 October. This title presents the highlights of research in the field of oxide structure. It also includes papers which show the mutual roles of experiment and theoretical models.
This book concentrates on industrially relevant reactions which are catalyzed by heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts. Homogeneous catalysis by metal complexes is treated jointly with heterogeneous catalysis using metallic and non-metallic solids.
Spectroscopic techniques continue to be essential in the understanding of catalyst performance. The chapters in this book describe the use of 27Al, 29Si and 13C NMR to study variation in FCC acidity during aging and coke deposition. In addition, several chapters covers the modeling of FCC deactivation, and contact times on FCC performance.
Spillover is a process taking place during the interface of gas reactant molecules (mainly hydrogen and oxygen) on solid surfaces. This title collects the papers which were presented at the Fifth International Conference Spillover, either as oral or poster contributions, as well as the summaries of the invited lectures.
The Fifth International Symposium on the Characterisation of Porous Solids (COPS-V) was held at Heidelberg, Germany, from May 30 to June 2, 1999. The intensive three-day programme provided a stimulating forum for the exchange of novel research findings, concepts, techniques and materials which are collected in this volume.
