Despre această carte electronică

Ceramic Catalysts: Materials, Strategies and Applications focuses on synthesis techniques and applications of ceramic materials in heterogenous catalysis. In order to enable an affordable, sustainable, low-carbon economy, research activities have been intensified in this area over recent years. The rapid accumulation of results has been evaluated and summarized by recognized experts working in their respective fields in the form of separate and complementary chapters. The first part of the book is dedicated to synthesis and catalytic applications of different categories of ceramics that include both porous ceramics and ceramic composites. Catalytic applications of ceramics mainly involving waste-water treatment, combustion reactions, and fine chemical synthesis are also discussed. Use of ceramics as catalyst supports is also given importance in the book. The book is intended to act as a valuable reference resource for both researchers and postgraduate students with key emphasis on the following areas of research: Recent techniques for the synthesis of different ceramics; specific characteristics of each type of ceramics for catalytic applications; different types of catalyzed reactions based on inherent chemical characteristics and sustainable technologies based on ceramic catalysts.The book will be an essential reference resource for industrial and academic researchers, materials scientists, chemists, and environmental scientists. - Provides an extensive overview of ceramic materials involved in catalysis - Presents the current state of art as tremendous progress has been achieved over recent years - Contributors are at the forefront of research - Provides an evaluation and comparison of the different types of ceramic materials available, including structure, properties and performance
