Supported Ionic Liquids: Fundamentals and Applications

This unique book gives a timely overview about the fundamentals and applications of supported ionic liquids in modern organic synthesis. It introduces the concept and synthesis of SILP materials and presents important applications in the field of catalysis (e.g. hydroformylation, hydrogenation, coupling reactions, fine chemical synthesis) as well as energy technology and gas separation. Written by pioneers in the field, this book is an invaluable reference book for organic chemists in academia or industry.

Catalysis for a Sustainable Chemicals Production, Environment, and the Future

Catalysis has for more than a century been a paramount technology for evolving the World to its current stage of development by securing the continuously increasing global needs of bulk and specialty chemicals in the chemical industry, as well as in most other industrial sectors, where such chemicals are applied in an enormous variety of downstream products. Importantly, catalysis has reduced energy consumption and waste from chemical production as well as contributed essentially to environmental and health protection by eliminating pollutants and hazardous compounds. With selected examples, this article elucidates the contribution of catalysis to a sustainable production of chemicals, protection of the environment, and emerging industrial processes.
