Introduction

Solid Base Catalysis: A New Frontier in Industrial Sustainability showcases the efficiency, reusability, and environmental benefits of solid based catalysts in modern green chemistry.

Across ten chapters, the book presents advanced catalyst fabrication techniques, including sol-gel, hydrothermal, vapor deposition, and innovative waste-derived approaches paired with cutting-edge structural and spectroscopic characterization tools. The text highlights catalyst-enabled organic synthesis, biomass conversion, pharmaceutical intermediate production, heterocycle generation, and renewable energy applications, bridging foundational principles with industrial relevance.

Detailed case studies on hydrogenation, multicomponent reactions, transesterification, depolymerization, bond-forming reactions, and CO₂ conversion to methanol connect academic research with industrial practice, positioning solid base catalysts as a cornerstone technology for sustainable chemistry, circular bioeconomy, and clean-energy innovation.

Key Features:

  • - Examines cutting-edge synthesis methods for solid base catalysts
  • - Analyzes material structure and functionality via advanced characterization techniques
  • - Demonstrates catalytic pathways for organic synthesis and fine chemicals manufacturing
  • - Enables biomass valorization and renewable feedstock conversion
  • - Facilitates hydrogenation, multicomponent, and C–C/C–N/C–S bond-forming reactions
  • - Advances CO₂ utilization, bio-oil upgrading, and sustainable fuel production
  • - Bridges fundamental catalysis principles with industrial case studies and real-world applications


Target Readership:

Ideal for researchers, graduate students, chemical engineers, and industrial chemists working in catalysis, green chemistry, sustainable manufacturing, and renewable energy technologies.
