The Section “Industrial Catalysis” of Catalysts (ISSN: 2073-4344) is primarily devoted to research aimed at the development and optimization of industrial catalytic processes, although electrocatalytic processes will also be considered, in particular with respect to their practical commercial applications. Both already-established industrial processes and processes under development are of interest to this Section. Thus, catalyst engineering studies concerning improving the conversion, selectivity, and productivity of reactants; optimizing stability; limiting deactivation; improving regeneration; and optimizing composition and particle morphology, as well as extrudate production and shape optimization, will be the main objects of the Section. To this end, all experimental research work should be realized in practical industrial reaction conditions or in relevant reference conditions, and should involve real commercial catalytic materials or catalysts under development with promising properties, acceptable costs, and environmental friendliness.

The development of industrial catalysts is a step forward for the development of industrial catalytic reactors and processes. Thus, molecular, reactor, and process modelling studies, as well as kinetic investigations, are also welcome. Studies concerning the end-of-life of spent catalysts and their reutilization are also welcomed.
