Product Description: Crystalline solids with highly structured micro-scale pores are called zeolites. Their well-defined structure and large contact surface make them extremely useful as catalysts. Their most common use is in washing powders. Different features are caused by the shape and size of the pores and the presence of different metals in the crystal structure...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: Progress in materials science and engineering continues to have a significant impact on the development of new or improved catalysts, in particular in the areas of synthesis, manufacture, characterization and shaping. Catalysts, in turn, are of crucial importance in increasing the selectivity and energy efficiency of the many conversion processes used in the oil refining, petrochemical, natural gas and fine-chemical industries...read more

Product Description: Heterogeneous catalysis is undergoing a dramatic change driven by the need to develop more efficient catalyst systems for the production of specialty chemicals and the development of new high-tech materials. The traditional concept of a catalyst system consisting of finely divided metal particles dispersed on an inert amorphous ceramic support has encountered increased challenges...read more

Product Description: This new volume presents an interdisciplinary discussion of the most recent progress in design, innovative developments, and application of novel catalyst materials for high temperature processes. Emphasis is given to developments in direct atomic scale probing of dynamic catalysts under reaction conditions, supported metal particle catalysts, oxide catalysts including n-butane oxidation catalysts, state of the art membrane catalysis, development of ceramic based catalyst carriers for application in hydrocarbon oxidation, catalyst combustors, and environmental control in catalysis...read more

Product Description: Efforts to develop new, highly active and selective catalytic materials benefit significantly from the interface between materials science and catalysis. To that end, materials scientists, chemists, chemical engineers, physicists and theorists from around the world come together in this book to discuss not the application of known catalysts to new reactions, but rather to explore new catalytic materials...read more

Product Description: Catalysis plays an increasingly critical role in modern petroleum refining and basic petrochemical industries as market demands for and specifications of petroleum and petrochemical products are continuously changing. As we enter the 21st century, new challenges for catalysis science and technology are anticipated in almost every field...read more

Recent development of olefin polymerisation catalysts has caused marked changes in both industrial and academic research. Industrial use of homogeneous metallocene catalysts has already begun in the fields of high density polyethylene and syndiotactic polypropylene. Moreover, important data have been obtained from academic investigations which have proved useful for understanding conventional heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalysts. From the industrial viewpoint, however, heterogeneous high-yield catalysts seem to be more important. The present volume contains invited lectures and contributed papers. The following topics are covered: (1) Heterogeneous Catalysts, (2) Metallocene Catalysts and (3) New Trends in the Polyolefin Industry.

Product Description: Presents the proceedings of the 2nd Workshop on Catalyst Design organized by the International Centre for Science and High Technology. The workshop enabled researchers active in both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis to meet and find/look for common interpretations and a common language...read more

Product Description: The organizers of this Fifth Symposium maintained their initial objectives, namely to gather experts from both industries and universities to discuss the scientific problems involved in the preparation of heterogeneous catalysts, and to encourage as much as possible the presentation of research work on catalysts of real industrial significance...read more
