Catalysis and Zeolites

Zeolites are used as catalysts for many technical/chemical processes and have a wide spectrum of catalytic possibilities. "Catalysis and Zeolites" gives the fundamentals and application areas in a comprehensive form written by experts from the university and the industry.

Excellent cross-section of the fundamentals of zeolite science and their application in catalysis Written by experts from both the university and the industry Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Klappentext

Zeolites and zeolite-like microporous materials have been playing an ever-increasing role in heterogeneous catalysis for more than three decades. An impressive number of large-scale industrial processes in petroleum refining, petrochemistry and the manufacture of organic chemicals are nowadays carried out using zeolite catalysts, and the future of zeolites in industrial catalysis continues to be bright. Authored by an international team of renowned scientists, the seven chapters of this book present a comprehensive overview of the application of zeolites in industrial catalysis, while also providing a true scientific understanding of how zeolites are synthesized, modified and characterized, and putting special emphasis on shape-selective catalysis, which is a unique feature of zeolites.
