Adsorption, Ion Exchange and Catalysis

Adsorption, Ion Exchange and Catalysis is essentially a mixture of environmental science and chemical reactor engineering. More specifically, three important heterogeneous processes, namely, adsorption, ion exchange and catalysis, are analysed, from fundamental kinetics to reactor design with emphasis on their environmental applications. In Chapter 1, the subject of air and water pollution is dealt with. Data about pollutants and emissions. In Chapter 2, the exchange and catalysis are presented as well as their environmental applications. Chapter 3 is devoted to heterogeneous processes and reactor analysis. All types of reactors are described in depth and reactor modeling, hydraulics and mass / heat transfer phenomena are examined for each type of reactor. Chapters 4 and 5 are dedicated to adsorption & ion exchange and catalysis, respectively. The basic concepts are presented, including the kinetics, equilibrium, mass / heat transfer phenomena, as well as the analytical solutions.
The two Annexes at the end of the book. Finally, almost all the texts found. Most kinetics, hydraulics and mass transfer.
