Features: This book focuses on an important issue in catalyst design—the distribution of active components within supported catalyst particles—and discusses the optimized distribution of active components in single particles, fixed-bed reactors, and membrane reactors for different reaction systems from both modeling and experimental validation perspectives. It also briefly introduces the optimized design of several important industrial catalysts, such as automotive exhaust purification catalysts, hydrorefining catalysts, composite zeolite catalysts, and immobilized biocatalysts. Finally, it introduces the preparation method of catalysts—impregnation—and discusses the effects of adsorption, diffusion, and drying on the non-uniform active distribution of catalysts.
