Catalysis: Volume 19 : Royal Society of Chemistry : 9780854042395 : 0854042393 : 21 Jun 2006 : There is an increasing need to find cost-effective and enviromentally sound methods of converting natural resources into fuels, chemicals and energy; catalysts are pivotal to such processes. Catalysis highlights major developments in this area. Coverage of this Specialist Periodical Reports includes all the major areas of heterogenous catalysis. In each volume, specific areas of current interest are reviewed. Examples of topics include experimental methods, acid/base catalysis, materials synthesis, environmental catalysis and syngas conversion.
