Document from the year 2014 in the subject Engineering - Chemical Engineering, Nirma University (Institute of Technology, Nirma University, Ahmedabad, Gujarat), course: Chemical Engineering, language: English, abstract: Catalysis has made a rapid progress and there can be observed many new applications of catalysts. Heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts used commercially are chemically and physically complex, sophisticated materials and because of the chemical and physical complexity of catalysts, catalyst research and development is highly multidisciplinary field which require knowledge of chemistry, chemical engineering, material science and physics. In order to design, develop and prepare new catalysts, a process which requires detailed knowledge of catalyst material, catalyst properties and art/science of catalyst preparation. The main objective of this book is to present an overview on catalyst materials and properties so that both the student and the experienced practitioner can understand the concept of catalyst materials and properties.
