Recent advances in solid acid-base catalysis and future problems

摘要

Recent advances in acid-base catalysis are summarized. Several examples of solid acid, base, and acid-base bifunctional catalysis which have brought significant progress of the field or are considered to give strong impacts to industrial application are presented. Selected commercialized processes developed by using solid acid-base catalysts are demonstrated, their significance being discussed. The future problems in this field are speculated and important fundamental research subjects are pointed out. [References: 35]
