Selective Oxidation by Heterogeneous Catalysis covers one of the
major areas of industrial petrochemical production, outlining open
questions and new opportunities. It gives keys for the
interpretation and analysis of data and design of new catalysts and
reactions, and provides guidelines for future research. A
distinctive feature of this book is the use of concept by example.
Rather than reporting an overview of the literature results, the
authors have selected some representative examples, the in-depth
analysis of which makes it possible to clarify the fundamental, but
new concepts necessary for a better understanding of the new
opportunities in this field and the design of new catalysts or
catalytic reactions. Attention is given not only to the catalyst
itself, but also to the use of the catalyst inside the process,
thus evidencing the relationship between catalyst design and
engineering aspects of the process. This book provides suggestions
for new innovative directions of research and indications on how to
reconsider the field of selective oxidation from different
perspectives, outlining that is not a mature field of research, but
that new important breakthroughs can be derived from fundamental
and applied research. Suggestions are offered on how to use less
conventional approaches in terms of both catalyst design and
analysis of the data.

Biorefineries compiles the basic science and technologies used to
convert terrestrial and aquatic biomass into essential molecular
compounds and polymeric materials. The book provides in depth
insights into this fairly recent concept of industrial chemistry
that aims to achieve optimal economic profits while minimizing the
environmental impact. Chapters written by renowned experts cover,
amongst others, the application of catalysis, downstream
processing, biomass sourced olefins, lignin biorefinery techniques
and biogas. The authors thoroughly examine and explain the value
chain for biomass conversion into platform molecules and their
transformation into final products. A comprehensive thematic
overview on the topic giving beginners access to fundamental
concepts is presented. Supplemented by numerous full color figures
and tables, the contents impart knowledge about the involved
techniques. Advanced students and experts in the field will find
the summary of state-of-the-art research and current literature of
valuable interest. Explores the enormous potential of biomass
conversion as a future source for fuels and chemicals Focuses on
both general scientific background and current innovations in the
field of biorefinery Targets students and researchers in Chemistry,
Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology, and Materials Science About
the Editors Prof. Michele Aresta, Chair of the Scientific Committee
of CIRCC in Italy and holds the IMM Chair at the Department of
Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at NUS, Singapore. He is
author of over 200 papers and Author or Editor of nine books. Prof.
Angela Dibenedetto, Associate Professor at the Department of
Chemistry of the University of Bari (Italy) focused on carbon
dioxide utilization by applying biorefinery concepts; and Director
of the Interuniversity Consortium on Chemical Reactivity and
Catalysis-CIRCC. Prof. Franck Dumeignil, Deputy Director of the
CNRS joint Unit of Catalysis and Chemistry of Solid (UCCS) of Lille
University (France); project coordinator of several projects on
chemistry, including the EuroBioRef Project for designing next
generation biorefineries.

This book offers a comprehensive overview of the most recent
developments in both total oxidation and combustion and also in
selective oxidation. For each topic, fundamental aspects are
paralleled with industrial applications. The book covers oxidation
catalysis, one of the major areas of industrial chemistry,
outlining recent achievements, current challenges and future
opportunities. One distinguishing feature of the book is the
selection of arguments which are emblematic of current trends in
the chemical industry, such as miniaturization, use of alternative,
greener oxidants, and innovative systems for pollutant abatement.
Topics outlined are described in terms of both catalyst and
reaction chemistry, and also reactor and process technology.
