When: 12 October, 1-2pm BSTWhere: Online A seminar on DFT & kinetic modeling of the methanol to olefins process with Prof. Dr. Felix Studt from Institute of Catalysis Research and Technology on 12 October. The methanol-to-olefins (MTO) process over the acidic zeolite H-SSZ-13 is investigated using periodic density functional theory…
When: 11 October 2023, 10:00 – 11:00 BSTWhere: Online Lignin is the only renewable natural resource with abundant aromatics in nature, and it’s highly desirable to develop cheap and efficient catalysts to obtain value-added aromatics from lignin. We initially employed a cheap platinum-like Tungsten carbide catalyst for lignin hydrogenolysis and explored…
When: 6 October 2023, 15:00 BSTWhere: Online The evaluation of catalysts through testing is ubiquitous in laboratories world wide, and there are many textbooks and literature articles that describe in varying levels of detail how such tests should be undertaken. In the chemical industry, catalyst testing also forms an essential…
When: 3 October 2023Where: Online This webinar continues our look at our pathfinder activities in the current phase. The subject of this webinar is experimental data capture in catalysis research. This is the focus of Pathfinder 1 which is led by Abraham Nieva de la Hidalga. Experimental Data Capture: producing…
When: 23 May 2023, 15:00 BSTWhere: Online Carbon supported metal catalysts play an important role in the electrification of the chemical production. In this webinar, an overview on how advanced characterization techniques, and particularly synchrotron based spectroscopic techniques, can aid the design of these materials will be provided. Examples include…
When: 9 May 2023, 15:00 BSTWhere: Online The UK Catalysis Hub are hosting a webinar on opportunities in chemical sciences with a next generation XFEL. In this webinar we will briefly overview the questions: what is an XFEL and what can they do in chemical sciences? We will discuss how…
When: 28 April 2023, 15:00 BSTWhere: Online Methanol is an important platform chemical and is made on the industrial scale using heterogeneous catalysts. It is currently made in an extremely unsustainable manner, and new routes are needed, utilising ‘green’ hydrogen. The mechanism of the surface reactions involved and work relating…
When: 22 March 2023, 15:00 – 17:00 GMTWhere: Online The UK Catalysis Hub are hosting a series of seminars for Early Career Researchers on the use of catalysts (bio, hetero- and homo-geneous) towards sustainable solutions in the carbon economy. The next virtual seminar for Early Career Researchers will be on…
When: 17 January, 15:00 – 16:00 GMTWhere: Online BASF is applying homogenous catalysis for the production of organic products on a multi-million ton scale each year. In this webinar an overview on these large-scalees process at BASF will be provided. It will be shown how such an efficient process is…
When: 29 & 30 November 2022Where: Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Harwell Campus, Fermi Avenue, Didcot, Oxfordshire, OX11 0QX On the 29th & 30th of November 2022 the UK Catalysis Hub held its annual winter conference and networking meeting. The Conference took place at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Harwell Campus, Oxfordshire. The conference began at…
