When: 29 March 2022, 15:00 GMT The presence of micropollutants – pharmaceuticals, pesticides, phthalates and hormones – in water is a major global health and environmental challenge. Conventional wastewater processes are not capable of effectively removing these compounds, often found at very low concentrations, Āµg L-1 or even ng L-1, leadingā¦
When: 25 February, 15:00 GMT Increasing demand for materials and energy, coupled with more stringent curbs on greenhouse gas emissions and pollutants necessitates the urgent need for development of new improved and efficient chemical technologies for sustainable manufacturing of chemicals. In this context Catalysis is the most important technology toā¦
When: 7 February, 15:00 GMT The UK Catalysis Hub has been awarded Block Allocation Group (BAG) access to the I15 X-ray PDF beamline at the Diamond Light Source. Pair Distribution Function (PDF) or total scattering analysis provides information on the local atomic arrangement of crystalline, nanophase, disordered, amorphous and liquidā¦
When: 25 November, 15:00 GMT Hydrogen will be a key energy carrier as we transition at scale to renewable sources of energy. Additionally, hydrogen is also a vital industrial chemical critical for food processing, fertiliser manufacturing, metal refining and oil upgrading. Electrochemical water splitting is the most mature and promisingā¦
When: 25 October 2021, 15:00 GMT Metal-organic framework templates and hosts of nanocatalysts: geometry, surface chemistry and performance webinar with Dr Petra Ćgota SzilĆ”gyi (Queen Mary University of London). Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a unique class of materials in terms of the tuneability of their pore geometry, chemistry, and flexibility,ā¦
When: 29 September 2021, 14:00 ā 16:00 GMT A joint virtual meeting between the Applied Catalysis Group (ACG) and UK Catalysis Hub based around the topics of high-throughput optimisation and data handling, scale-up of enzyme catalysis, photochemistry and kinetic studies for catalyst lifetime understanding. Speakers include: Nessa Carson, Syngenta Dataā¦
When: 14 July 2021, 15:00 BST Computational studies of homogeneous catalysis play an increasingly important role in furthering (and changing) our understanding of catalytic cycles and can help to guide the discovery and evaluation of new catalysts. While a truly ārational designā process remains out of reach, detailed mechanistic informationā¦
When: 15 June 2021, 15:00 ā 16:00 GMTWhere: Virtual Following on from their 2020 āIntroduction to Patentsā webinar, Abel + Imray will be hosting a āPatents for Chemistsā webinar with details of some further key considerations to keep in mind when you want to protect your ideas. Obtaining adequate protectionā¦
When: 9 June 2021, 15:00 GMT Hydrothermal processing (HTP) of waste plastics can offer advantages over conventional thermochemical methods such as pyrolysis and gasification. This talk will present some results from the HTP of various model and real waste plastics for the recovery of energy and materials, along with theā¦
When: Tuesday 18th May, 15:00 GMT Catalytically reversible reactions, including alkene metathesis and transfer hydrogenation, have had an enormous impact on the development of synthetic strategies for the synthesis of bioactive compounds and important materials. However, the vast majority of chemically catalysed processes are non-reversible. In contrast, many enzyme-catalysed processesā¦
