Abstract
The importance of catalysis is due to the large number of applications in catalytic processes, particularly in the chemical and petrochemical industry, in power generation, the gas and water pollution to preserve the environment and the development of new materials. This book aims to present the fundamentals of catalysis and applications illustrated with experiments performed in our laboratory, trying to understand why select the catalysts and processes.
