Heterogeneous catalysis is widely used in chemical, refinery, and pollution-control processes. Thus, achieving optimal performance of catalysts is a significant issue for chemical engineers. This book addresses the question of how catalytic material should be distributed inside a porous support in order to obtain optimal performance. It treats single and multiple reaction systems, isothermal and nonisothermal conditions, pellets, fixed-bed reactors, and membrane reactors. Particular...
More DescriptionHeterogeneous catalysis is widely used in chemical, refinery, and pollution-control processes. Thus, achieving optimal performance of catalysts is a significant issue for chemical engineers. This book addresses the question of how catalytic material should be distributed inside a porous support in order to obtain optimal performance. It treats single and multiple reaction systems, isothermal and nonisothermal conditions, pellets, fixed-bed reactors, and membrane reactors. Particular attention is given to problems of commercial importance. With its thorough treatment of the design, preparation, and utilization of supported catalysts, this book will be a useful resource for graduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers and chemists.
