BOOK DESCRIPTION
TABLE OF CONTENTS

Catalysts are required for a variety of applications and industrialists and academics are increasingly challenged to find cost effective and environmentally benign catalysts to use. This volume looks at modern approaches to catalysis and reviews the extensive literature on areas such as electrochemical promotion of catalysis, biodiesel-based metals on emission control devices, deoxygenation of fatty acids and transitioning rationally designed catalytic materials to real world catalysts produced on a commercial scale.

Advances in methanation catalysis; Recent advances in electrochemical promotion of catalysis; Mixed metal oxides and catalytic redox cycles; Heterogeneous electrocatalysts for CO₂reduction; Production and use of H₂O₂for atom-efficient functionalization of hydrocarbons and small molecules; Transitioning rationally designed catalytic materials to real "working" catalysts produced at commercial scale: nanoparticle materials; Dehydrogenation of long chain n-paraffins to olefins - a perspective; Investigations of the impact of biodiesel metal contaminants on emissions control devices
