No minimum orderDescription
Heterogeneous Catalysis: Materials and Applications focuses on heterogeneous catalysis applied to the elimination of atmospheric pollutants as an alternative solution for producing clean energy and the valorization of chemical products. The book helps users understand the properties of catalytic materials and catalysis phenomena governing electrocatalytic/catalytic reactions, and – more specifically – the study of surface and interface chemistry. By clustering knowledge in these fields, the book makes information available to both the academic and industrial communities. Further, it shows how heterogeneous catalysis applications can be used to solve environmental problems and convert energy through electrocatalytic reactions and chemical valorization. Sections cover nanomaterials for heterogeneous catalysis, heterogeneous catalysis mechanisms, SOX adsorption, greenhouse gases conversion, reforming reactions for hydrogen production, valorization of hydrogen energy, energy conversion and biomass valorization.
Key Features
- Addresses topics of increasing interest to society such as the valorization of biomass, the use of polluting gases to produce value-added products, and the optimization of catalytic materials for water splitting, fuel cells, and other devices
- Discusses pollutant adsorption by industrial fume desulphurization processes
- Helps improve processes for obtaining chemicals using nonconventional technologies
Readership
Scientists in academia and industry working in chemical engineering, chemistry, physics, and materials science who apply catalysis for the elimination of atmospheric pollutants, clean energy production and valorization of chemicals
