When: 17 September 2020, 2 – 4pmWhere: Watch Now A joint virtual meeting between the Applied Catalysis Group (ACG) and UK Catalysis Hub. Speakers include: Dr. Christopher Mitchell (SABIC) – Laboratory scale testing of formed catalyst particles For many heterogeneously catalysed processes, the final commercial application requires the use of…
When: 27 August, 15:00 – Watch now Dr. Simon Freakley (Bath) will give a seminar on production of H202. Hydrogen peroxide has a key role to play in developing clean chemical processes. The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from H2 and O2 would represent an attractive atom efficient process which…
When: 29 July 15:00 A 40 minute seminar given by Dr. Anthony Green (Manchester) and Prof. Nicholas Turner (Manchester) presenting an overview of the current state-of-the-art and challenges for future research. Click image below to watch a recording of the webinar:
When: 21 July 2020 – Watch Now Synchrotron X-ray diffraction computed tomography (XRD-CT) is a marriage between powder diffraction and computed tomography using a “pencil” beam approach. The spatially-resolved signals obtained with XRD-CT can reveal information that would otherwise be lost in bulk measurements, which opens up new possibilities in…
When: 23 June, 16:00 – Watch Now The subtleties of structure and bonding in compounds of the rare earths (Group 3 and the lanthanides) and actinides are still poorly-understood. However, their complexes can exhibit strong and tuneable Lewis acidity, high and tuneable reduction capacity, and the capacity for rapid ligand…
When: 28 May, 15:00 – Watch Now Opportunities for studying catalytic materials with intense radiation sources; what, where, when and how. It was in 1836 that Jöns Jacob Berzelius provided the first, basic description of a catalyst and its properties. Both the breadth and depth of our understanding of catalysts and…
When: 23 April, 15:00 – Watch Now Over the past decades, a key objective for both the homogeneous and heterogeneous communities has been to develop ‘single site’ catalysts, in the hope of achieving extreme precision in terms of catalyst selectivity. There have been notable successes so that, taking homogeneous catalysis…
