Catalysis is the science that allows facilitating the chemical
processes by employing a substance (catalyst) that actively
participates in the reaction mechanism while not being consumed
during the process. The practical totality of the most relevant
chemical processes (by volume of product) up to date involves the
utilization of catalysts as a crucial part of the technology. Thus,
some of the most important bulk chemicals (nitric, sulfuric, and
terephtalic acids) are produced via catalytic oxidation while
others such as ammonia involves catalytic hydrogenation processes.
Bulk polymers such as polyethylene and polypropylene and many high
added-value fine chemicals produced at lower scale are generated
with the key participation of a catalyst. This book intends to
provide an overview of some of the most relevant industrial
catalytic technologies available today. Thus, important
heterogeneous catalytic processes such as Fischer-Tropsch,
three-way conversion of gaseous pollutants, and preferential
oxidation of CO in H2 streams have dedicated chapters in this
compendium. Deactivation of catalysts, a central issue in any
catalytic technology, is adequately tackled by excellent reviews
from relevant authors. The upgrading of petroleum to fuels and
chemicals is also covered by including chapters on hydrocracking of
heavy oils and Fischer-Tropsch-derived streams. Finally, enzymes,
which can be considered as natural catalysts, are described in a
review chapter as essential components involved in the production
of pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and even bulk chemicals.
