Energy and feedstock materials for the chemical industry are in
increasing demand and, with constraints related to the availability
and use of oil, the energy and chemical industry is undergoing
considerable changes. In recent years, major restructuring has
occurred in the oil, petrochemical, and chemical industry, with
increasing attention devoted to the use of natural gas, methane in
particular, as a chemical feedstock rather than just as a fuel. The
conversion of remote natural gas into liquid fuels or other
transportable chemicals is a challenge to industrial catalysis. Few
processes exist so far with the major ones involving the conversion
of natural gas to synthesis gas by steam reforming, CO2 reforming,
or partial oxidation, followed by the syntheses of methanol,
hydrocarbons (Fischer-Tropsch synthesis), or ammonia.
In this book, a comprehensive overview of the field of
processing natural gas is given, through a series of chapters
written by leading scientists and engineers in the field. New
developments are discussed and current work relevant to the area is
shown by a series of recent works by researchers working in this
and related fields.
