Interdisciplinary approach to sustainability, illustrating current
catalytic approaches in applied chemistry, chemical engineering,
and materials science Catalysis for a Sustainable Environment
covers the use of catalysis in its various approaches, including
homogeneous, supported, and heterogeneous catalysis, and photo- and
electrocatalysis, towards sustainable environmental benefits. The
text fosters interdisciplinarity in sustainability by illustrating
modern perspectives in catalysis, from fields including inorganic,
organic, organometallic, bioinorganic, pharmacological, and
analytical chemistry, along with chemical engineering and materials
science. The chapters are grouped in seven sections on (i) Carbon
Dioxide Utilization, (ii) Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
Transformation, (iii) Carbon-based Catalysis, (iv) Coordination,
Inorganic, and Bioinspired Catalysis, (v) Organocatalysis, (vi)
Catalysis for Water and Liquid Fuels Purification, and (vii)
Hydrogen Formation/Storage. Sample topics covered in Catalysis for
a Sustainable Environment include: Activation of relevant small
molecules with strong environmental impact and carbon-based
catalysts for sustainable chemical processes Catalytic synthesis of
important added value organic compounds, in both commodity and fine
chemistries (large and small scale productions, respectively)
Development of catalytic systems operating under environmentally
benign and mild conditions towards the establishment of sustainable
energy processes Catalysis by coordination, metal and metal-free
compounds, MOFs (metal-organic frameworks) and nanoparticles, and
their contribution to environmental and sustainable processes
Employing the latest approaches that impact global and circular
economies, Catalysis for a Sustainable Environment serves as an
excellent starting point for innovative catalytic approaches, and
will appeal to professionals in engineering, academia, and industry
who wish to improve existing processes and materials.
