Hydrotreating catalysis with transition metal sulphides is one of the
most important areas of industrial heterogeneous catalysis. The present
book deals with the chemical and catalytic aspects of transition metal
sulphides, focusing on their use in hydrotreating catalysis. The book¿s
12 chapters present reviews of solid-state, coordination and
organometallic chemistry, surface science and spectroscopic studies,
quantum chemical calculations, catalytic studies with model and real
catalysts, as well as refinery processes. A presentation of
state-of-the-art background to pertinent work in the field. Can be used
as an introduction to the chemical and catalytic properties of
transition metal sulphides as well as an advanced level reference.
