Catalysis science and technology. Volume 6
- eds.
The volume of research literature on catalysis and surface science has increased enormously during the last decade, and it has become impossible for any one investigator to follow all the new developments. This series on catalysis science and technology attempts to correct the problem to some extent by presenting review articles that are more than just a listing of the current literature. Volume 6 has four chapters. Chapter one is by J.B. Butt and is on the often neglected but very important area of catalyst deactivation and regeneration. The chapter starts with the fundamental chemistry side, focused on the mechanisms of poisoning and coking. Major emphasis is on the engineering side of deactivation and regeneration. Related areas of transport phenomena and reactor analysis are discussed in detail. At each step the reader is given enough information to understand the topic and prepared for the following discussion. Chapter 2 on Catalytic Olefin Polymerization reactions by I. Pasquon and U. Giannini. A short coming of this chapter is the lack of any discussion on the kinetics and modeling of polymerization reactions. Chapter 3 is on Metal Catalyzed Skeletal Reactions of Hydrocarbons on Metal Catalysts by G.L.C. Maire and F.G. Garin. This is a very organized review and there are no discontinuities in subject matter. Chapter 4 is on Dispersed Metal Catalysts by K. Foger. This is an outstanding article giving the unfamiliar reader a good background on the subject matter. Advantages and disadvantages of the various preparation and characterization methods are presented to the reader in a clear and easy to understand style. Structure of supports as well as small metal crystallites are discussed in detail.
