It contains an in-depth study of the design and synthesis of gold nanoparticles and their application as a catalyst for direct gas phase propylene epoxidation. "Direct" means using only hydrogen and oxygen in one step, which is key for sustainable manufacturing, as opposed to commercialised, more complex production routes requiring multiple steps, or integration with another chemical plant. The insights gained can be used for rational design for stable and selective catalysts for other reactions. It also details the step-by-step process to build an epoxidation reactor system with a focus on safety aspects, which can be used as a guidebook for undergraduate and graduate students in chemical engineering. Beyond heterogeneous catalysis, the new, easily accomplished methodology for synthesising atomically precise nanoparticles is shown to be relevant to electrocatalysis and to healthcare applications, such as anti-microbial surfaces. This book will be of interest to researchers, engineers and experts in the related areas of chemical engineering, chemistry, material science and electrochemistry. 001451241 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001451241 650_0 $$aPropylene oxide$$xSynthesis. 001451241 650_0 $$aPropylene oxide$$xSynthesis$$xEnvironmental aspects. 001451241 650_0 $$aCatalysts$$xEnvironmental aspects. 001451241 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001451241 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aKapil, Nidhi.$$tStable supported gold nanoparticle catalyst for environmentally responsible propylene epoxidation.$$dCham : Springer, 2022$$z9783031150654$$w(OCoLC)1346520849 001451241 830_0 $$aSpringer theses. 001451241 852__ $$bebk 001451241 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-15066-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001451241 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1451241$$pGLOBAL_SET 001451241 980__ $$aBIB 001451241 980__ $$aEBOOK 001451241 982__ $$aEbook 001451241 983__ $$aOnline 001451241 994__ $$a92$$bISE
