Heterogeneous Catalytic Materials Solid State Chemistry Surface Chemistry And Catalytic Behaviour 1st Edition Guido Busca Auth by Guido Busca (auth.) 9780444595249, 0444595244 instant download after payment.

Heterogeneous Catalytic Materials discusses experimental methods and the latest developments in three areas of research: heterogeneous catalysis; surface chemistry; and the chemistry of catalysts. Catalytic materials are those solids that allow the chemical reaction to occur efficiently and cost-effectively.

This book provides you with all necessary information to synthesize, characterize, and relate the properties of a catalyst to its behavior, enabling you to select the appropriate catalyst for the process and reactor system. Oxides (used both as catalysts and as supports for catalysts), mixed and complex oxides and salts, halides, sulfides, carbides, and unsupported and supported metals are all considered. The book encompasses applications in industrial chemistry, refinery, petrochemistry, biomass conversion, energy production, and environmental protection technologies.

• Provides a systematic and clear approach of the synthesis, solid state chemistry and surface chemistry of all solid state catalysts
• Covers widely used instrumental techniques for catalyst characterization, such as x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and more
• Includes characterization methods and lists all catalytic behavior of the solid state catalysts
• Discusses new developments in nanocatalysts and their advantages over conventional catalysts
