Presenting the UK Catalysis Hub Research Data Policy
The Research Data Policy describes the responsibilities of the UK Catalysis Hub partners (researchers, staff, and students) for managing research data. The UK Catalysis Hub research data policy is intended…
Replacing mercury with gold catalysts for a cleaner route to production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is the world’s third most produced polymer after polyethylene and polypropylene. Until recently the formation of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), the precursor to PVC, has relied on…
How Catalysis can Enable a Sustainable Future Beyond Oil: The Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 2022
The UK’s ambition to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050 will not be possible without new and innovative catalysis. We will be presenting at The Royal Society Summer Science…
CO2 Capture, Concentration, and Conversion
Closing the anthropogenic carbon cycle requires selective valorization of CO2 and efficient methods for capture and concentration from dilute streams. The first part of the talk will discuss the challenge of…
Public Lecture by Prof. Andrew Harrison, OBE, FRSE, FRS, Chief Executive, Diamond Light Source
Taking Diamond Light Source to a new level of brilliance Diamond Light Source is the UK’s national synchrotron facility, based at Harwell and producing brilliant beams of light that are…
Catalytic activity of zeolite types LTA and LSX using waste sachet water in a re-designed jacketed reactor
Research into the use of plastic waste in obtaining fuels has been ongoing over the past decade. Zeolites USY and in some cases rare earth USY, ZSM-5, mordenite and beta…
Studies of charge compensation in zeolites
Zeolites can be described as negatively charged inorganic frameworks that are compensated by organic, inorganic and solvated protons. From the point of view of controlling the topology of the zeolite,…
Catalyst design strategies for multifunctional metal-promoted zeolites in the conversion of natural gas to aromatics
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…
