Heterogeneous Catalysis and Catalytic Processes

Overview

Introduction and Basic concept of green catalysis - Solid acids and bases as catalysts , Application of catalyst functionality concepts for control of reaction selectivity and kinetic models - Kinetics and reaction on surfaces, Application of functionality concepts for control of reaction selectivity and microkinetic models - Steps in catalytic reaction (Adsorption, Kinetic models, interparticulate and intraparticle transport process - Selection and design and Preparation of catalysts - Textural Properties of solid catalysts - Characterization of catalysts - Zeolite catalysts , preparation, characterization and applications - Optimal distribution of catalyst in a pellet - Environmental catalysis - Commercial Catalytic Reactors ( Adiabatic, fludized bed, trickle bed , slurry etc.) - Industrially important catalysts and processes such as oxidation, processing of petroleum and hydrocarbons, synthesis gas and related process
