Informationen zum Autor Professor Brian Trewyn studied chemistry at the University of Wisconsin before researching a PhD at Iowa State University under the guidance of Professor Victor S-Y Lin (to whom this book is dedicated). Brian is now an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Geochemistry at the Colarado School of Mines. Klappentext Heterogeneous catalysis and homogenous catalysis both contribute to overcoming the challenges of Green Chemistry, such as the recycling of catalysts, the development of new supports, and the increased precision and accuracy of reaction kinetics. Research in this field has expanded considerably since Gerhard Ertl was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work on "Chemical Processes on a Solid Support". Summarising the recent literature, this book offers a comprehensive overview of the considerable research effort currently given to the field, providing guidance to postgraduates and newcomers to the catalysis community and an essential resource for experienced researchers in academia and industry.Chapters in this book are drawn from leading researchers associated with Professor Victor Lin (1967-2010), who made significant contributions to the field of catalysis in green chemistry. Zusammenfassung This book presents the latest research in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. Heterogeneous catalysis and supporting homogeneous catalysis are important factors in increasing the development of green chemistry.
