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 promising…
When: 25 October 2021, 15:00 GMT Metal-organic framework templates and hosts of nanocatalysts: geometry, surface chemistry and performance webinar with Dr Petra Ágota Szilágyi (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,…
When: 29 September 2021, 14:00 – 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 Data…
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 “rational design” process remains out of reach, detailed mechanistic information…
When: 15 June 2021, 15:00 – 16:00 GMTWhere: Virtual Following on from their 2020 “Introduction to Patents” webinar, Abel + Imray will be hosting a “Patents for Chemists” webinar with details of some further key considerations to keep in mind when you want to protect your ideas. Obtaining adequate protection…
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 the…
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 processes…
