Highlighting sustainable catalytic processes in synthetic organic chemistry and industry, this useful guide places special emphasis on catalytic reactions carried out at room temperature.
It describes the fundamentals, summarizes key advances, and covers applications in industrial processes in the field of energy generation from renewables, food science, and pollution control. Throughout, the latest research from various disciplines is combined, such as homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, biocatalysis, and photocatalysis. The book concludes with a chapter on future trends and energy challenges for the latter half of the 21st century.
With its multidisciplinary approach this is an essential reference for academic and industrial researchers in catalysis science aiming to design more sustainable and energy-efficient processes.

Prof. Luque has published over 260 research articles, filed 3 patent applications, and edited 8 books. His research is focused on (nano)materials science, heterogeneous (nano)catalysis, microwave and flow chemistry, biofuels and green chemical methods in synthetic organic chemistry.
Frank Leung-Yuk Lam is a visiting assistant professor at the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) since 2012. He received his PhD at the HKUST in 2005 and then worked as a postdoctoral researcher in both University of Hong Kong and the HKUST. He has been a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering in the Technion Israel Institute of Technology (TIIT) in Israel, doing research on functional materials for environment and teaching about environmental engineering. His research is focused on separation, air pollution control and wastewater treatment through adsorption and heterogeneous catalysis.
