Multiphase Catalytic Reactors: Theory, Design, Manufacturing, and Applications (repost)

This book combines all aspects of multiphase catalytic reactors from modeling and design to their applications in industrial manufacturing of chemicals.

The single irreplaceable component at the core of a chemical process is the chemical reactor where feed materials are converted into desirable products. The impact of heterogeneous catalysis is significant in this respect since petroleum refining, chemicals manufacturing and environmental clean-up, which are the three major areas of the world economy today, all require the effective use of solid catalysts. Multiphase Catalytic Reactors: Theory, Design, Manufacturing and Applications is a comprehensive up-to-date compilation on multiphase catalytic reactors.

The book covers topics starting from the first principles involved in macro-kinetic analysis of two- and three-phase catalytic reactors to their particular industrial applications. The main objective is to provide definitive accounts on academic aspects of multiphase catalytic reactor modeling and design along with detailed descriptions of some of the most recent industrial applications employing multiphase catalytic reactors.

Organized in six parts Multiphase Catalytic Reactors features:

Principles of Catalytic Reaction Engineering
Two-Phase Catalytic Reactors
Three-Phase Catalytic Reactors
Structured Reactors
Essential Tools of Reactor Modeling and Design
Industrial Applications of Multiphase Reactors
The topics covered in individual chapters of this comprehensive book are written by leading experts in the field, and the book will serve as an excellent reference source for professors, graduate students, researchers and specialists both in academia and in industry.
