Energy, environmental protection

The author is grateful to the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency, the Army Research Office, Hercules and Cara Plastics for their generous support of this research. Particular thanks are extended to my graduate students and research associates for shouldering the brunt of the research. 

The field of catalysis enjoys significant scientific prominence due to its importance in areas that affect the general public—clean energy, environmental protection, and conversion of sustainable feedstocks, for example. These driving forces, among others, will guide research efforts in our field for the foreseeable future. This volume of the Royal Society of Chemistry s Specialist Periodical Reports Catalysis book series addresses these issues directly, providing up-to-date reviews on subjects of current interest.

Environmental Protection. Fumes resulting from exposure of anhydrous aluminum chloride to moisture are corrosive and acidic. Collection systems should be provided to conduct aluminum chloride dusts or gases to a scmbbing device. The choice of equipment, usually one of economics, ranges from simple packed-tower scmbbers to sophisticated high energy devices such as those of a Venturi design (11).

A catalyst is a substance whose presence increases the rate of a chemical reaction. The exercise of using catalysts is called catalysis. Today the vast majority of all commercially important chemical reactions involve catalysts, especially in the fields of energy production, petrochemicals manufacture, pharmaceuticals synthesis, and environmental protection.

Environmental protection and resource use have to be considered in a comprehensive framework, and all of the relevant economic and natural scientific aspects have to be taken into consideration. The concepts of entropy and sustainability are useful in this regard. The entropy concept says that every system will tend toward maximum disorder if left to itself. In other words, in the absence of sound environmental policy. Earth s energy sources will be converted to heat and pollutants that must be received by Earth. The concept of sustainability has to do with... 

During the last third of the twentieth century, many federal legislative proposals have addressed environmental protection and resource consewation that has had a profound impact on the energy industiy. At the federal level, environmental regulations have been managed by the U.S. Environmental Protection... 

Department of Defense, and the Environmental Protection Agency also devote a considerable amount of resources toward energy issues.
