Isabella Nova is Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Department of Energy, Politecnico of Milan, Italy. Nova’s research work is focused on the study of environmental catalytic processes, including Selective Catalytic Reduction of NOx by NH3 and Diesel Particulate filters for the removal of soot and on new processes for the production of clean energy, such as the photocatalytic water splitting. She has co-authored over 100 publications on national and international journals in the fields of Chemical Reaction Engineering and Heterogeneous Catalysis and three national and international patents. Enrico Tronconi is Full Professor of Chemical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, Italy. His main research interests are in the area of Catalytic Reaction Engineering, with emphasis on industrial chemical processes for energy conversion and for environmental protection. His most recent work is focused on DeNOx after treatment technologies for vehicles, as well as on fundamental and engineering aspects concerning the development of novel structured catalysts and reactors. Tronconi has authored or co-authored over 180 scientific publications in international journals and is the inventor of 10 patents.
It covers a spectrum of topics beyond just the needs of SCR researchers: It also provides plenty of easy-to-digest, well-written, thorough information and insights for anybody seriously active in NOx reduction ... . this book is a must for any library, organization or individual having a primary or even a secondary interest in Diesel NOx emission reduction, heterogeneous catalysis in Diesel emission mitigation or in related aspects ... . (Mansour Masoudi, Emission Control Science and Technology, Vol. 1, 2015) An important up-to-date survey of the state of SCR science and technology that over recent years has undergone tremendous advances. ... will be of value to researchers working in the SCR area as well as a reference for students in chemistry, catalysis and chemical engineering. The editors are to be congratulated for bringing together so many eminent contributors and completing such a major endeavour. This book should therefore be made available in academic and industrial research libraries ... . (Martyn V. Twigg, Johnson Matthey Technology Review, Vol. 59 (3), 2015)
