Catalysis is central to the chemical industry, as it is directly or involved in the production of almost all useful chemical products. In this book the authors, present the definitive account of industrial catalytic processes. Throughout Fundamentals of Industrial Catalytic Processes the information is illustrated with many case studies and problems. This book is valuable to anyone wanting a clear account of industrial catalytic processes, but is particularly useful to industrial and academic chemists and engineers and graduate working on catalysis. This book also:Covers fundamentals of catalytic processes, including chemistry, catalyst preparation, properties and reaction engineering.Addresses heterogeneous catalytic processes employed by industry.Provides detailed data on existing catalysts and catalytic reactions, process design and chemical engineering.Covers catalysts used in fuel cells.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction and Fundamentals (pages 3–59): Chapter 2 Catalyst Materials, Properties and Preparation (pages 60–117): Chapter 3 Catalyst Characterization and Selection (pages 118–196): Chapter 4 Reactors, Reactor Design, and Activity Testing (pages 197–259): Chapter 5 Catalyst Deactivation: Causes, Mechanisms, and Treatment (pages 260–336): Chapter 6 Hydrogen Production and Synthesis Gas Reactions (pages 339–486): Chapter 7 Hydrogenation and Dehydrogenation of Organic Compounds (pages 487–559): Chapter 8 Catalytic Oxidations of Inorganic and Organic Compounds (pages 560–634): Chapter 9 Petroleum Refining and Processing (pages 635–704): Chapter 10 Environmental Catalysis: Mobile Sources (pages 705–752): Chapter 11 Environmental Catalysis: Stationary Sources (pages 753–819):
