Prof. Dr. Matthias Beller (LIKAT Rostock) will give a 40 minute seminar followed by questions and discussion. Matthias Beller studied chemistry at the University of Göttingen, where he completed his…
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: 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…
Keywords: Catalysis Density Functional theory Oxides Zeolites/Zeotypes Carbon Materials Expertise: I employ electronic structure methods to understand catalytic processes at atomic scale. I’m mainly interested in understanding the interaction of catalytically interesting atoms and molecules on the surface of metals and metal oxides. In recent years, I have been actively…
Keywords: Chemical engineering Catalysis Reaction engineering Carbon capture Biofuels Expertise: Joe Wood’s research focuses on the application of catalysis and reactor engineering to solve problems of energy supply, environmental concerns and to deliver chemical products in a more sustainable way. Research topics include bio-metal nanoparticles, hydrotalcites, carbon supported bimetallic catalysts,…
When: 22 July 2021 On the 22nd of July 2021 the UK Catalysis Hub held a full day virtual EDI event around the topics of diversity in scientific research.
