Heterogeneous Catalysis for Today's Challenges: Synthesis, Characterization and Applications (Green Chemistry Series, Volume 33)

This book presents the latest research in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. Heterogeneous catalysis and homogeneous catalysis are important factors in increasing the development of green chemistry. Some of the challenges that we are responsible for are directing research efforts toward increasing the kinetics of heterogeneous catalysis to homogeneous catalysis levels, improving the recyclability of the catalysts, and developing new supports that can act as catalysts or cocatalysts. Following reaction kinetics and mechanisms on supported catalysts provides the degree of precision and accuracy already enjoyed by the homogeneous catalysis community. The editors present an easily-accessible digest for researchers and a reference aimed at offering guidance to new researchers in the field. Content: Zeolites: Synthesis, properties, and industrial applications Microwave assisted synthesis of solid catalytic materials Supported metal catalysts for green reactions Heterogeneous catalysts for asymmetric reactions Clay-based catalyst supports Mesoporous metals: synthesis and catalysis Novel syntheses and catalytic reactions for periodic mesoporous organosilica Porous carbon composites for catalytic reactions Smart heterogeneous catalyst design on mesoporous nanomaterials This book presents the latest research in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. Heterogeneous catalysis and supporting homogeneous catalysis are important factors in increasing the development of green chemistry.
