Beschreibung

Interdisciplinary approach to sustainability, illustrating current catalytic approaches in applied chemistry, chemical engineering, and materials science Catalysis for a Sustainable Environment covers the use of catalysis in its various approaches, including homogeneous, supported, and heterogeneous catalysis, and photo- and electrocatalysis, towards sustainable environmental benefits. The text fosters interdisciplinarity in sustainability by illustrating modern perspectives in catalysis, from fields including inorganic, organic, organometallic, bioinorganic, pharmacological, and analytical chemistry, along with chemical engineering and materials science. The chapters are grouped in seven sections on (i) Carbon Dioxide Utilization, (ii) Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Transformation, (iii) Carbon-based Catalysis, (iv) Coordination, Inorganic, and Bioinspired Catalysis, (v) Organocatalysis, (vi) Catalysis for Water and Liquid Fuels Purification, and (vii) Hydrogen Formation/Storage. Sample topics covered in Catalysis for a Sustainable Environment include: * Activation of relevant small molecules with strong environmental impact and carbon-based catalysts for sustainable chemical processes * Catalytic synthesis of important added value organic compounds, in both commodity and fine chemistries (large and small scale productions, respectively) * Development of catalytic systems operating under environmentally benign and mild conditions towards the establishment of sustainable energy processes * Catalysis by coordination, metal and metal-free compounds, MOFs (metal-organic frameworks) and nanoparticles, and their contribution to environmental and sustainable processes Employing the latest approaches that impact global and circular economies, Catalysis for a Sustainable Environment serves as an excellent starting point for innovative catalytic approaches, and will appeal to professionals in engineering, academia, and industry who wish to improve existing processes and materials.

Preface

Aiming to change the world for the better, 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the United Nations (UN) Member States in 2015, as part of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that concerns social, economic, and environmental sustainability. Hence, a 15-year plan was set up to achieve these Goals and it is already into its second half.

However, the world does not seem to be on a good track to reach those aims as it is immersed in the Covid-19 pandemic crisis and climate emergency, as well as economic and political uncertainties. Enormous efforts must be pursued to overcome these obstacles and chemical sciences should play a pivotal role. Catalysis is of particular importance as it constitutes the most relevant contribution of chemistry towards sustainable development. This is true even though the SDGs are integrated and action in one can affect others.

For example, the importance of chemistry and particularly catalysis is evident in several SDGs. Goal 12, addresses “Responsible Consumption and Production Patterns” and is aligned with the circularity concept with sustainable loops or cycles (e.g., in recycle and reuse processes that are relevant within the UN Environmental Program). Goal 7 addresses “Affordable and Clean Energy” and relates to efforts to improve energy conversion processes, such as hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution from water, that have a high environmental impact. Other SDGs in which chemistry and catalysis play an evident role with environmental significance include Goal 6 (“Clean Water and Sanitation”), Goal 9 (“Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure” 13 (“Climate Action”), Goal 14 (“Life Below Water”), and Goal 15 (“Life on Land”).

The book is aligned with these SDGs by covering recent developments in various catalytic processes that are designed for a sustainable environment. It gathers skilful researchers from around the world to address the use of catalysis in various approaches, including homogeneous, supported, and heterogeneous catalyses as well as photo- and electrocatalysis by searching for innovative green chemistry routes from a sustainable environmental angle. It illustrates, in an authoritative way, state-of-the-art knowledge in relevant areas, presented from modern perspectives and viewpoints topics in coordination, inorganic, organic, organometallic, bioinorganic, pharmacological, and analytical chemistries as well as chemical engineering and materials science.

The chapters are spread over seven main sections focused on Carbon Dioxide Utilization, Transformation of Volatile Organic Compound (VOCs), Carbon-based Catalysts, Coordination, Inorganic, and Bioinspired Catalysis, Organocatalysis, Catalysis for the Purification of Water and Liquid Fuels,and Hydrogen Formation, Storage, and Utilization. These sections are gathered together as a contribution towards the development of the challenging topic.

The book addresses topics in (i) activation of relevant small molecules with strong environmental impacts, (ii) catalytic synthesis of important added value organic compounds, and (iii) development of systems operating under environmentally benign and mild conditions toward the establishment of sustainable energy processes.

This work is expected to be a reference for academic and research staff of universities and research institutions, including industrial laboratories. It is also addressed to post-doctoral, postgraduate, and undergraduate students (in the latter case as a supplemental text) working in chemical, chemical engineering, and related sciences. It should also provide inspiration for research topics for PhD and MSc theses, projects, and research lines, in addition to acting as an encouragement for the development of the overall field.
