§15§This introductory textbook covers all aspects of catalysis. It also bridges computational methods, industrial applications and green chemistry, with over 600 references. The book is aimed at chemistry and chemical engineering students, and is suitable for both senior undergraduate- and graduate-level courses, with many examples and hands-on exercises. The author, a renowned researcher in catalysis, is well known for his clear teaching and writing style (he was voted "lecturer of the year" by the chemistry students).§Following an introduction to green chemistry and the basics of catalysis, the book covers the principles and applications of homogeneous catalysis, heterogeneous catalysis and biocatalysis. Each chapter includes up-to-date industrial examples, that demonstrate how catalysis helps our society reach the goals of sustainable development.§Since its publication in 2008, Catalysis: Concepts and Green Applications has become the most popular textbook in catalysis. This §15§second edition is updated with the latest developments in catalysis research in academia and industry. It also contains 50 additional exercises, based on the suggestions of students and teachers of chemistry and chemical engineering from all over the world.§The book is also available in the Chinese language (https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a212k0.12153887.0.0.4e60687dUTEDKm〓 §Additional teaching material (original figures as PowerPoint lecture slides) is freely available in the Supplementary Material.§ § §03§INTRODUCTION§Green chemistry and sustainable development§What is catalysis and why is it important?§Tools in catalysis research§Exercises§THE BASICS OF CATALYSIS§Catalysis is a kinetic phenomenon§Practical approaches in kinetic studies§An overview of the basic concepts in catalysis§Exercises§HOMOGENEOUS CATALYSIS§Metal complex catalysis in the liquid phase§Homogeneous catalysis without metals§Scaling up and down: Pros and cons§"Click chemistry" and homogeneous catalysis§Exercises§HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSIS§Classic gas/solid systems§Liquid/solid and liquid/liquid catalytic systems§Advanced process solutions using heterogeneous catalysis§Exercises§BIOCATALYSIS§The basics of enzymatic catalysis§Applications of enzyme catalysis§Developing new biocatalysts: Better than nature's best§Non-enzymatic biocatalysts§Industrial examples§Exercises§COMPUTER APPLICATIONS IN CATALYSIS RESEARCH§Computers as research §03§ tools in catalysis§Modelling catalysts and catalytic cycles§Predictive modelling and rational catalyst design§An overview of data mining methods in catalysis§Exercises §07§After the great success now in its 2nd Edition:This textbook covers all aspects of catalysis, including computational methods, industrial applications and green chemistry.
