Download or read book Encapsulated Catalysts written by Samahe Sadjadi and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2017-06-08 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Encapsulated Catalysts provides valuable information for chemists, chemical engineers, and materials scientists in this promising area. The book describes many kinds of encapsulated catalysts and their applications in chemistry, including organic, inorganic, hybrid, and biological systems. Unlike other works, which discuss traditional supports, this useful resource uniquely focuses on extremely important topics, such as the encapsulation effects on reactivity and selectivity, the difficulty of their separation from reaction mixture, and/or their sensitivity to reaction conditions, and the limit of their industrial applications. In addition, the book covers the immobilization of homogenous catalysts on inorganic or organic supports and how it enables the separation of homogenous catalysts, as well as the protection or reuse of catalysts. - Discusses one of the most promising advances in catalysis and recent developments in the area, including enzyme mimic catalysts and new nano-materials for catalyst encapsulation - Provides interdisciplinary coverage of organic, inorganic, and biological materials for encapsulation of catalysts - Describes various types of reactions which can be catalyzed in presence of encapsulated catalysts
