Springer Methane Combustion over Lanthanum-based Perovskite Mixed Oxides (Springer Theses)

Product Description This book presents current research into the catalytic combustion of methane using perovskite-type oxides (ABO3). Catalytic combustion has been developed as a method of promoting efficient combustion with minimum pollutant formation as compared to conventional catalytic combustion. Recent theoretical and experimental studies have recommended that noble metals supported on (ABO3) with well-ordered porous networks show promising redox properties. Three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) materials with interpenetrated and regular mesoporous systems have recently triggered enormous research activity due to their high surface areas, large pore volumes, uniform pore sizes, low cost, environmental benignity, and good chemical stability. These are all highly relevant in terms of the utilization of natural gas in light of recent catalytic innovations and technological advances. The book is of interest to all researchers active in utilization of natural gas with novel catalysts. The research covered comes from the most important industries and research centers in the field. The book serves not only as a text for researcher into catalytic combustion of methane, 3DOM perovskite mixed oxide, but also explores the field of green technologies by experts in academia and industry. This book will appeal to those interested in research on the environmental impact of combustion, materials and catalysis.

About the Author Dr. Arandiyan was awarded his PhD ranking EXCELLENT from School of Environment at Tsinghua University (THU) Top University in China and recipient of several awards and fellowships working under the supervision of Prof. Junhua Li (a world leader in environmental catalysis) in July 2014, seven months prior to submitting this book publishing. In the last years before and after graduation, he has been invited to do research at Zeolite Research Group (2008) where he was a Senior Researcher in the Science and Technology Park of Tehran University in the laboratories of Prof. H. Kazemian. Afterwards, he worked in Prof. Hongxing Dai’s Laboratory of Catalysis Chemistry and Nanoscience group at Beijing University of Technology (2013). In July 2014, just before the completion of his PhD degree at THU, he employed as a full-time Research Associate at the School of Chemical Engineering, the University of New South Wales (UNSW). Subsequently, he was awarded 2015 UNSW Vice-Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Research Fellowship, which enables his conduct two-year full-time research with potential
