This is the first comprehensive book covering all aspects of the use of carbonaceous materials in heterogeneous catalysis. It covers the preparation and characterization of carbon supports and carbon-supported catalysts; carbon surface chemistry in catalysis; the description of catalytic, photo-catalytic, or electro-catalytic reactions, including the development of new carbon materials such as carbon xerogels, aerogels, or carbon nanotubes; and new carbon-based materials in catalytic or adsorption processes. This is a premier reference for carbon, inorganic, and physical chemists, materials scientists and engineers, chemical engineers, and others.
Following in the lineage of Adsorption by Carbons (Bottani & Tascon, 2008), this work explores current research within contemporary novel carbon adsorbents. Both basic and applied aspects are discussed for this important class of materials. The first section of the book introduces physical adsorption and carbonaceous materials, and is followed by a section concerning the fundamentals of adsorption by carbons. This leads to development of a series of theoretical concepts that serve as an introduction to the following section in which adsorption is mainly envisaged as a tool to characterize the porous texture and surface chemistry of carbons. Particular attention is paid to novel nanocarbons, ...
Agricultural and food industry waste materials have been an important feedstock for activated carbon production for many years. In the development of cleaner energy production and utilization processes, new advanced carbon materials with enhanced properties have been studied. Techniques to tailor pore structure and surface chemistry can produce bet
Carbon filament, vapor grown carbon fibers and carbon nanotubes have been discovered to have remarkable properties, opening they way for their use in intriguing and novel applications in electronics, chemistry and materials science. There are many similarities between nanotubes and filaments, leading many researchers to critically compare the two materials, their production, and potential applications. The two materials are compared and contrasted in depth in the present book, which is a comprehensive review of current research activity, growth mechanisms, physical properties, industrial production, and applications. The structures are discussed using a unified approach, which helps to compare growth mechanisms, contrasting morphological differences, and detailing how novel properties depend on such differences.
This directory is part of a six-volume set that provides data on over 36,000 European companies. Covering Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland, it provides information such as: address, phone and fax numbers, e-mail and Web addresses, listings of a company's activities, parents, subsidiaries and agents, brands and trademarks and financial information for 2001 and 2002.
Rivages have become the best-selling guides of their kind in both Europe & America. Originating in Paris, they set the standard for excellence with their fabulous color photographs, superb maps & candid descriptions of the most remarkable hotels of Europe. Each book also contains a restaurant guide to the country & a color atlas pinpointing the location of every hotel & inn. These new editions are completely updated for 2001.
This book Catalysis from Theory to Application. An Integrated Course encompasses the lectures of an integrated course on Catalysis (CIC2006) organized in the University of Coimbra according to the guidelines set up by the ERA-Net ACENET (Applied Catalysis European Network). The book is subdivided in five sections: heterogeneous, homogeneous, photo- and electro-catalysis and a fifth section covering experimental design and planning.The course and the lectures presented in this book intend to offer a broad and comprehensive survey on the different subjects of catalysis. Indeed, most graduate students in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering have only fragmented knowledge. Accordingly, the book is intended for undergraduate and post-graduate students or Industrial Researchers of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering interested in acquiring integrated knowledge in this field.
