Book cover Heterogenized Homogeneous Catalysts for Fine Chemicals Production

Part of the book series: Catalysis by Metal Complexes ((CMCO,volume 33))

Abstract

Homogeneous catalysts are characterized by high selectivity and ­reactivity under mild operating conditions. But the separation of the molecular catalysts from the reaction medium is a serious drawback and hampers industrial applications. A promising way to facilitate the separation and the reuse of the catalysts is its immobilization in a second liquid phase or on a solid support. In any case a mass transfer step is introduced in addition to the catalytic reaction. Transport phenomena may modify the effective reaction kinetics and harm the high product selectivity and activity observed in homogeneous systems. In the present chapter the impact of transport phenomena on the effective reaction rate, product selectivity, and observed reaction kinetics will be discussed in detail. The main parameters influencing the catalytic transformation will be presented. Besides heterogeneous fluid/solid systems biphasic liquid/liquid systems will be treated. Finally transport phenomena in supported liquid phase catalysts will be described. The latter regain lately actuality with the introduction of ionic liquids as supported liquid phase.
