Transition Metal Sulphides Chemistry and Catalysis [Paperback]

Hydrotreating catalysis with transition metal sulphides is one of the most important areas of industrial heterogeneous catalysis. The present book deals with the chemical and catalytic aspects of transition metal sulphides, focusing on their use in hydrotreating catalysis. The book?s 12 chapters present reviews of solid-state, coordination and organometallic chemistry, surface science and spectroscopic studies, quantum chemical calculations, catalytic studies with model and real catalysts, as well as refinery processes. A presentation of state-of-the-art background to pertinent work in the field. Can be used as an introduction to the chemical and catalytic properties of transition metal sulphides as well as an advanced level reference.Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Challenges for Sulphides in Materials Sciences and Catalysis, Varna, Bulgaria, September 27-October 1, 1997Hydrotreating catalysis with transition metal sulphides is one of the most important areas of industrial heterogeneous catalysis.
