Recoverable and Recyclable Catalysts (PDF)

Recoverable and Recyclable Catalysts

There is continued pressure on chemical and pharmaceutical
industries to reduce chemical waste and improve the selectivity and
efficiency of synthetic processes. The need to implement green
chemistry principles is a driving force towards the development of
recoverable and recyclable catalysts.

The design and synthesis of recoverable catalysts is a highly
challenging interdisciplinary field combining chemistry, materials
science engineering with economic and environmental objectives.
Drawing on international research and highlighting recent
developments, this book serves as a practical guide for both
experts and newcomers to the field.

Topics covered include:

* An introduction to the principles of catalyst recovery and
recycling

* Catalysts on insoluble and soluble support materials

* Thermomorphic catalysts, self-supported catalysts and
perfluorous catalytic systems

* The development of reusable organic catalysts

* Continuous flow and membrane reactors

Each chapter combines principles with practical information on
the synthesis of catalysts and strategies for catalyst recovery.
The book concludes with a comparison of different catalytic
systems, using case studies to illustrate the key features of each
approach.

Recoverable and Recyclable Catalysts is a valuable
reference source for academic researchers and professionals from a
range of pharmaceutical and chemical industries, particularly those
working in catalysis, organic synthesis and sustainable
chemistry.
