Description This volume looks at the recent progress of this technology as reported in the 21 papers presented during the 219th National Meeting of
the ACS in New York, September 5-11, 2003.
In addition, the volume focuses on the use of modern spectroscopic techniques for the generation
of detailed structural analysis required for the advancement of the science of FCC design.
Other chapters look at the use and importance
of solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), microcalorimetry and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to the study of FCCs and discussing
strategies to control pollutant emissions from a refinery FCCU and
looking at advances in FCC preparation.
Audience
Students, researchers and practitioners in the fields of catalysis, chemical engineers.
