文档介绍：Catalyst Design
Heterogeneous catalysis is widely used in chemical, refinery,and pollution-
control processes. For this reason, achieving optimal performance of cat-
alysts is a significant issue for chemical engineers and chemists. This book
addresses the question of how catalytic material should be distributed
inside a porous support in order to obtain optimal performance. It treats
single- and multiple-reaction systems, isothermal and nonisothermal con-
ditions, pellets, monoliths, fixed-bed reactors, and membrane reactors.
The effects of physicochemical and operating parameters are analyzed to
gain insight into the underlying phenomena governing the performance
of optimally designed catalysts. Throughout, the authors offer a balanced
treatment of theory and experiment. Particular attention is given to prob-
lems mercial importance. With its thorough treatment of the de-
sign, preparation, and utilization of supported catalysts, this book will
be a useful resource for graduate students, researchers, and practicing
engineers and chemists.
