Methane Conversion by Oxidative Processes: Fundamental and Engineering Aspects (Van Nostrand Reinhold Catalysis Series)

Theoretical chemists, chemical engineers, physicists, and practicing materials scientists have come to rely on the Catalysis Series for information on new catalysts and catalytic processes, lab techniques, and industrial applications. Methane Conversion by Oxidative Processes provides complete coverage of this subject area in one convenient source. The book is organized into two parts. Part One gives you the fundamentals, including state-of-the-art descriptions of work currently under way at leading laboratories. You'll get descriptions of studies concerning the reaction mechanism, catalyst characterization and evaluation, and the latest techniques used in these studies. Part Two looks at the engineering aspects, including economic evaluations. It explores the engineering problems involved in large-scale implementation of the process such as reaction and reactor engineering and economic evaluations of process alternatives.
