Carbon and Silicon Carbide Nanotubes Containing Catalysts 

Cuong Pham-Huu, Ovidiu Ersen, and Marc-jacques Ledoux 

The application and development of an industrial catalyst starts with research and control of materials at the molecular level followed by laboratory evaluation and a microplant reactor which pave the way to the real industrial catalyst All of these processes cover several domains of research, from molecular chemistry to transport phenomena and solid state studies. Today the understanding of the macroscopic phenomena involved in catalysis seems to be relatively well under control for most of the different catalytic processes whereas the comprehension of what happens at a nanoscopic scale remains to be improved, in order to design a new generation of catalysts with better activity and selectivity. The direct way to
