Features: Environmental issues are major challenges faced by humanity as we enter the 21st century. Many technologies have been applied to environmental protection, and environmental catalysis is a new technology that combines environmental engineering with catalytic technology. This book systematically and comprehensively reflects the development foundation, current applications, and trends of environmental catalysis technology. Focusing on the characteristics of environmental catalysis, it provides detailed introductions to catalyst preparation, characterization, as well as the principles and processes of catalytic reactions. It summarizes the applications of catalytic technology in various environmental treatment processes and the latest research achievements, and explores the development directions of environmental catalysis. This book is suitable for professionals engaged in environmental research, development, treatment, and management, as well as for faculty and students in related fields.
The book first systematically reviews the fundamental knowledge of environmental catalysis, covering catalyst preparation, characterization, catalytic reaction principles, and processes, based on the characteristics of environmental catalysis. Building on this foundation, it elaborates on the basic principles of different processes according to their unique features, introduces an overview of catalytic process applications in various pollution systems, summarizes the latest achievements in practical applications and experimental research, and explores the development directions of environmental catalysis.
The book is divided into nine chapters. Chapter 1 provides a general introduction to environmental catalysis and related introductory knowledge. Chapters 2 to 4 systematically elaborate on the fundamentals of catalytic processes, catalyst preparation, and catalyst characterization. Chapters 5 to 8 focus on introducing the principles, methods, and equipment of catalytic treatment processes for mobile sources of pollution, fixed sources of pollution, indoor air pollution, water pollution, and other areas. Chapter 9 offers a brief outlook on new technologies and development trends in environmental catalysis.
