Solid Base Catalysis: A New Frontier in Industrial Sustainability
Abstract
Solid Base Catalysis: A New Frontier in Industrial Sustainability showcases the efficiency, reusability, and environmental benefits of solid based catalysts in modern green chemistry.
Across ten chapters, the book presents advanced catalyst fabrication techniques, including sol-gel, hydrothermal, vapor deposition, and innovative waste-derived approaches paired with cutting-edge structural and spectroscopic characterization tools. The text highlights catalyst-enabled organic synthesis, biomass conversion, pharmaceutical intermediate production, heterocycle generation, and renewable energy applications, bridging foundational principles with industrial relevance.
Detailed case studies on hydrogenation, multicomponent reactions, transesterification, depolymerization, bond-forming reactions, and CO₂ conversion to methanol connect academic research with industrial practice, positioning solid base catalysts as a cornerstone technology for sustainable chemistry, circular bioeconomy, and clean-energy innovation.
