Industrial Catalysis [PDF ebook] 
A Practical Approach

Despite the fact that more than 90% of production processes in industry are catalyzed, most chemists and engineers are restricted to trial and error when searching for the proper catalyst. This book is the first emphasizing industrial aspects of catalysis and also particularly well suited to studying on one’s own. It is dedicated to both, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis and in this second, edition biocatalysis, electrocatalysis, photocatalysis and asymmetric catalysis are also included; topics like zeolites, metals and olefin catalysis are now discussed in more detail. The book aids practically oriented readers in becoming familiar with the processes of catalyst development and testing and therefore deals with aspects of test planning, optimization and reactor modeling and simulation with the easy-to-learn PC program POLYMATH. Well over 100 exercises help to test and consolidate the gained knowledge.

عن المؤلف

Prof. Dr. Jens Hagen schloss sein Erststudium als Chemieingenieur in Essen ab, studierte dann an der RWTH Aachen Chemie und promovierte 1975 zum Dr. rer. nat. auf dem Gebiet der Katalyse/Hochdrucksynthese. Nach einer Industrietätigkeit bei Henkel KGa A Düsseldorf wurde er 1979 als Professor für das Lehrgebiet Technische Chemie an die Fachhochschule Mannheim – Hochschule für Technik und Gestaltung – berufen. Seine Lehr- und Forschungsgebiete im Fachbereich Verfahrens- und Chemietechnik sind die Chemische Reaktionstechnik und Technische Katalyse. Seit 1985 leitet Prof. Hagen das Steinbeis-Transferzentrum Verfahrenstechnik, Bio- und Umwelttechnik, er führt Weiterbildungsseminare für die berufliche Praxis durch.
