About this title

Synopsis

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.

About the Author

Professor Brian Trewyn studied chemistry at the University of Wisconsin before researching a PhD at Iowa State University under the guidance of Professor Victor S-Y Lin (to whom this book is dedicated). Brian is now an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Geochemistry at the Colarado School of Mines.
