This book provides a comprehensive description of the catalytic technologies for selective hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexene. Focusing on selective hydrogenation of benzene to prepare cyclohexene and its downstream products, such as cyclohexanone, bulk chemicals and high-value fine chemicals, it also discusses the objective laws, reaction mechanisms and scientific significance based on experimental data, analysis and characterization results. Given its scope, the book will appeal to a broad readership, particularly professionals at universities and scientific research institutes, senior...

This book provides an overview of plasticizers, from the latest global research developments to the laws and regulations applied to their use. In addition the book details the author's recently developed methodology for a catalytic hydrogenation of phthalate plasticizers. It presents insights into the development of the catalytic phthalate hydrogenation from the reaction mechanism and catalyst characterization to pilot tests and its industrialization. Given its scope, the book will appeal to a broad readership, particularly professionals at universities and scientific research...
