Publisher's Synopsis
These volumes comprise the proceedings of the international meeting on catalysis which is held at 4 year intervals. The programme focused on new frontiers in catalysis, including non-traditional catalytic materials and environmental catalysis. The contributions cover a wide range of fundamental, applied, industrial and engineering aspects of catalysis. The extensive range of highly efficient industrial techniques for observing and characterizing catalytically important surfaces is evident.;The programme covered the following sessions: mechanism, theory and in situ methods; catalytic reaction on atomically clean surfaces; catalytic reaction on zeolites and related substances; new methods and principles for catalyst preparation; hydrotreatment reactions (HDS, HDN); characterization of catalysts and application of novel techniques; selective oxidation; new catalytic aspects of heteropoly acids and related compounds; reaction of hydrocarbons; non-traditional catalytic materials; fuel upgrading; alkane activation; acid-base catalysis; new selective catalytic reactons and fine chemicals; environmental catalysis; industrial catalysis, deactivation and reactivation; synthesis from syngas; electrocatalysis; and photocatalysis. The invited lectures and 433 papers included in these volumes present an update on all areas of catalysis and applications.
