This survey has been concerned with the enumeration of all possible mechanisms for a complex chemical reaction system based on the assumption of given elementary reaction steps and species. The procedure presented for such identification has been directly applied to a number of examples in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. Application to other areas is clearly indicated. These would include complex homogeneous reaction systems, many of which are characterized by the presence of intermediates acting as catalysts or free radicals. Enzyme catalysis should also be amenable to this approach.

This chapter describes a forced unsteady-state operation technique as employed for continuous processes which represent the majority of heterogeneous catalysis applications. The catalyst life in these processes often lasts as long as several years. Traditional operation is in the steady-state, and automatic control systems are...

The topic of reactions in SCF media has been the subject of a number of reviews and surveys in recent years (7,8,12,20-30). Of note is a thorough review by Savage et al. (31) that provides a comprehensive analysis of this literature from 1985 to 1994. Several recent reviews have been more narrowly focused on specific topics. For example. Savage (32) and Baiker (33) present reviews of heterogeneous catalysis applications in SCF media, and Jessop and coworkers (34,35) focus on the homogeneous catalysis literature. Baiker s paper (33) includes a brief discussion on the various batch and continuous reactors that have been employed in much of the work discussed in these various reviews. Jessop and Leitner (36) recently edited a comprehensive monograph devoted exclusively to chemical synthesis in SCF media with contributions from a number of researchers in the field.

This chapter concludes our discussion of applications of surface chemistry with the possible exception of some of the materials on heterogeneous catalysis in Chapter XVIII. The subjects touched on here are a continuation of Chapter IV on surface films on liquid substrates. There has been an explosion of research in this subject area, and, again, we are limited to providing just an overview of the more fundamental topics.

It would be difficult to over-estimate the extent to which the BET method has contributed to the development of those branches of physical chemistry such as heterogeneous catalysis, adsorption or particle size estimation, which involve finely divided or porous solids in all of these fields the BET surface area is a household phrase. But it is perhaps the very breadth of its scope which has led to a somewhat uncritical application of the method as a kind of infallible yardstick, and to a lack of appreciation of the nature of its basic assumptions or of the circumstances under which it may, or may not, be expected to yield a reliable result. This is particularly true of those solids which contain very fine pores and give rise to Langmuir-type isotherms, for the BET procedure may then give quite erroneous values for the surface area. If the pores are rather larger—tens to hundreds of Angstroms in width—the pore size distribution may be calculated from the adsorption isotherm of a vapour with the aid of the Kelvin equation, and within recent years a number of detailed procedures for carrying out the calculation have been put forward but all too often the limitations on the validity of the results, and the difficulty of interpretation in terms of the actual solid, tend to be insufficiently stressed or even entirely overlooked. And in the time-honoured method for the estimation of surface area from measurements of adsorption from solution, the complications introduced by...

However, research into transition metal catalysis in ionic liquids should not focus only on the question of how to make some specific products more economical or ecological by use of a new solvent and, presumably, a new multiphasic process. Since it bridges the gap between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, in a novel and highly attractive manner, the application of ionic liquids in transition metal catalysis gives access to some much more fundamental and conceptual questions for basic research. 

In comparison with traditional biphasic catalysis using water, fluorous phases, or polar organic solvents, transition metal catalysis in ionic liquids represents a new and advanced way to combine the specific advantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. In many applications, the use of a defined transition metal complex immobilized on a ionic liquid support has already shown its unique potential. Many more successful examples - mainly in fine chemical synthesis - can be expected in the future as our loiowledge of ionic liquids and their interactions with transition metal complexes increases.

Theoretically, the problem has been attacked by various approaches and on different levels. Simple derivations are connected with the theory of extrathermodynamic relationships and consider a single and simple mechanism of interaction to be a sufficient condition (2, 120). Alternative simple derivations depend on a plurality of mechanisms (4, 121, 122) or a complex mechanism of so called cooperative processes (113), or a particular form of temperature dependence (123). Fundamental studies in the framework of statistical mechanics have been done by Riietschi (96), Ritchie and Sager (124), and Thorn (125). Theories of more limited range of application have been advanced for heterogeneous catalysis (4, 5, 46-48, 122) and for solution enthalpies and entropies (126). However, most theories are concerned with reactions in the condensed phase (6, 127) and assume the controlling factors to be solvent effects (13, 21, 56, 109, 116, 128-130), hydrogen bonding (131), steric (13, 116, 132) and electrostatic (37, 133) effects, and the tunnel effect (4,... 

Among the theories of limited applicability, those of heterogeneous catalysis processes have been most developed (4, 5, 48). They are based on the assumption of many active sites with different activity, the distribution of which may be either random (23) or thermodynamic (27, 28, 48). Multiple adsorption (46, 47) and tunnel effects (4, 46) also are considered. It seems, however, that there is in principle no specific feature of isokinetic behavior in heterogeneous catalysis. It is true only that the phenomenon has been discovered in this category and that it can be followed easily because of large possible changes of temperature. 

In this chapter, we Hmit ourselves to the topic of zeolite membranes in catalysis. Many types of membranes exist and each membrane has its specific field where it can be appHed best. Comparing polymeric and inorganic membranes reveals that for harsher conditions and high-temperature applications, inorganic membranes outperform polymeric membranes. In the field of heterogeneous catalYsis, elevated temperatures are quite common and therefore this is a field in which inorganic membranes could find excellent applications. 

Microwave technology has now matured into an established technique in laboratory-scale organic synthesis. In addition, the application of microwave heating in microreactors is currently being investigated in organic synthesis reactions [9-11] and heterogeneous catalysis [12, 13]. However, most examples of microwave-assisted chemistry published until now have been performed on a...

In contrast to heterogeneous catalysis, industrial applications of homogeneous catalysis are relatively scarce, largely being restricted to the speciality and pharmaceutical sectors. Homogeneous catalysts have been well researched, since their catalytic centres can be relatively easily...
