Monolithic Catalysts for Nonautomobile Applications

Abstract The use of monoliths in automotive emission control systems has dominated the applications of monoliths. However, other applications have also become of interest due to unique features of monoliths. Several excellent reviews on emission control [1–3] and catalytic oxidations [4] have been published during the last few years. Deluca and Campbell [5] have reviewed monoliths used as catalyst supports. This paper reviews flow characterization, heat and mass transfer, mathematical modeling, properties of monolithic supports, and nonautomobile applications of monoliths.
