Synopsis

This book offers a comprehensive overview of the most recent developments in both total oxidation and combustion and also in selective oxidation. For each topic, fundamental aspects are paralleled with industrial applications. The book covers oxidation catalysis, one of the major areas of industrial chemistry, outlining recent achievements, current challenges and future opportunities. One distinguishing feature of the book is the selection of arguments which are emblematic of current trends in the chemical industry, such as miniaturization, use of alternative, greener oxidants, and innovative systems for pollutant abatement. Topics outlined are described in terms of both catalyst and reaction chemistry, and also reactor and process technology.

About this title

Review

"This book is highly recommended to senior scientists/engineers and industrialists as well as to young researchers and students, because of its very valuable contents and strong relation with industrial interests." -- Jacques C Védrine, Emeritus Professor, Laboratoire de Réactivité de Surface, University Pierre & Marie Curie

"The book is aimed at scientists involved in developing processes for the production of different organic chemicals. It could be also used for advanced undergraduate or post-graduate level courses in green chemistry, and for researchers working in catalysis, interested in discovering new applications for different oxidation catalysts." -- Josè Louis Garcia Fierro, Institute of Catalysis and Petrochemistry, (CSIC), Spain
