Catalysis in Application

Catalysis in Application presents a snapshot of the most up-to-date developments in the field of applied catalysis. Coverage is principally in the areas of hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, chiral catalysis, environmental catalysis and catalyst deactivation, combining a unique mix of chemistry and chemical engineering.With its wide-ranging coverage, this book will be a welcome addition to the shelves of every practitioner in catalysis, both in industry and academia. TOC:Modification of catalysis and surface reactions by surface carbon; Catalytic properties of the platinum-hydrogen-carbon system; Deactivation kinetics of cobalt-nickel catalysts in a fluidised bed reformer; Deactivation behaviour of Zn/ZSM-5 with a Fischer-Tropsch derived feedstock; In-situ ultraviolet Raman spectroscopy of supported chromia/alumina catalysts for propane dehydrogenation; Butane dehydrogenation over a Pt/alumina catalyst; Selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde to cinnamyl alcohol using an Ir/C catalyst: influence of reaction conditions; Study of catalysed wall-flow and foam-type fine particulate filters; A novel ''thrifted'' palladium-zinc catalyst supported on ceria stabilised zirconia for use in three way vehicle exhaust catalysis; Enantioselectivity and catalyst morphology; The effect of preparation on lanthanum and lanthanum doped cobaltates for application in the water gas shift reaction; The influence of catalyst geometry and topology on the kinetics of hydrocarbon hydrogenation reactions; Adsorption/desorption based characterisation of hydrogenation catalysts; Ethyl ethanoate synthesis by ethanol dehydrogenation
