Syngas generation by oxidative or steam reforming of hydrocarbons & oxygenates now attracts a lot of attention of researchers in the fields of heterogeneous catalysis & chemical engineering due to its tremendous importance for energy generation & synfuels production. This book discusses this topic.

The current book brings together cutting-edge research in the area of heterogeneous catalytic redox processes. The first part of the book covers the catalytic properties of transition metal oxides and the techniques for catalysts preparation, such as mechanochemistry, plasmochemistry, hydrothermal treatment, etc. Further the authors focus on mechanisms of heterogeneous redox reactions followed by the overview of industrial applications.
