The book is about calorimetry and thermal analysis methods, alone
or linked to other techniques, as applied to the characterization
of catalysts, supports and adsorbents, and to the study of
catalytic reactions in various domains: air and wastewater
treatment, clean and renewable energies, refining of
hydrocarbons, green chemistry, hydrogen production and storage.
The book is intended to fill the gap between the basic
thermodynamic and kinetics concepts acquired by students
during their academic formation, and the use of experimental
techniques such as thermal analysis and calorimetry to answer
practical questions. Moreover, it supplies insights
into the various thermal and calorimetric methods which can
be employed in studies aimed at characterizing the
physico-chemical properties of solid adsorbents, supports and
catalysts, and the processes related to the adsorption desorption
phenomena of the reactants and/or products of catalytic
reactions. The book also covers the basic concepts
for physico-chemical comprehension of the relevant
phenomena. Thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of the catalytic
reactions can be fruitfully investigated by means of thermal
analysis and calorimetric methods, in order to better understand
the sequence of the elemental steps in the catalysed reaction. So
the fundamental theory behind the various thermal analysis and
calorimetric techniques and methods also are illustrated.
