Methane, derived from shale gas, is a cheap and abundant molecule that can be used as a building block in the chemicals manufacturing industry, but instead, large quantities of stranded…
The replacement of conventional fossil fuels (coal, crude oil and natural gas) and their derivatives such as gasoline, olefins and aromatics with carbon neutral renewable resources (e.g., atmospheric CO2 and biomass/bio-waste)…
Inspiring the next generation of catalytic chemists is an important activity for all researchers. In this exhibit we will show some recent activities that have been developed to give school…
The translation of catalysts created in academics to industrial end-users remains challenging due to a lack of understanding about the influence of catalyst characteristics on the whole process and vice…
When: 20 – 21 June 2022Where: Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Harwell Campus, Fermi Avenue, Didcot, Oxfordshire, OX11 0QX On the 20th and 21st of June 2022 the UK Catalysis Hub will…
The transformations of the abundant small molecules such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) has the potential to contribute toward establishing an environmentally sensible circulation of energy and materials.…
Structure/activity relationships in heterogeneously catalysed selective hydrogenation reactions of relevance to agri-chemical production chains A recently completed industrially sponsored Ph.D. project, concentrating on the kinetics and hydrodynamics of nitrile hydrogenation, has…
Taste and odour represent critical criteria in the evaluation of potable water quality for consumers and the removal of low concentration modern contaminants constitutes an ongoing problem particularly for utility…
Central to the ongoing efforts to mitigate plastic waste is the development of efficient catalytic processes. One approach for plastic effluent reduction, is the chemical recycling of plastic waste to…
Allostery is a central mechanism for the regulation of multi-enzyme complexes. The mechanistic basis that drives allosteric regulation is poorly understood but harbors key information for enzyme engineering. In this…
