Catalysis in Confined FrameworksUtgave 1

Understanding the synthesis and applications of porous solid catalysts

Heterogeneous catalysis is a catalytic process in which catalysts and reactants exist in different phases. Heterogeneous catalysis with solid catalysts proceeds through the absorption of substrates and reagents which are liquid or gas, and this is largely dependent on the accessible surface area of the solid which can generate active reaction sites. The synthesis of porous solids is an increasingly productive approach to generating solid catalysts with larger accessible surface area, allowing more efficient catalysis.

Catalysis in Confined Frameworks: Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications provides a comprehensive overview of synthesis and use of porous solids as heterogeneous catalysts. It provides detailed analysis of pore engineering, a thorough characterization of the advantages and disadvantages of porous solids as heterogeneous catalysts, and an extensive discussion of applications. The result is a foundational introduction to a cutting-edge field.

Catalysis in Confined Frameworks: Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications readers will also find:

• An editorial team comprised of international experts with extensive experience
• Detailed discussion of catalyst classes including zeolites, mesoporous aluminosilicates, and more
• A special focus on size selective catalysis

Catalysis in Confined Frameworks: Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications is an essential reference for catalytic chemists, organic chemists, materials scientists, physical chemists, and any researchers or industry professionals working with heterogeneous catalysis.
