When: 23 November 2020, 3 – 4pmWhere: Virtual Abel + Imray will be hosting an “Introduction to Patents” webinar aimed at explaining what a patent is, why patents are relevant to you, as a chemist, and how you go about patenting an invention. Obtaining adequate protection for your ideas from…
When: 19 November, 15:00 Dr. Amanda Jarvis (Edinburgh) & Dr. Samantha Staniland (Johnson Matthey) Dr. Amanda Jarvis – A brief introduction to artificial metalloenzymesThis talk will briefly introduce artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) – biohybrid catalysts that aim to bring together the benefits of transition metal catalysts and enzymes. Using examples from…
When: 27 October, 15:00 Prof. Nigel Scrutton (Manchester) will talk about biocatalyst engineering and engineering of microbial cell factories for chemicals production. Biocatalyst engineering and the engineering of microbial cell factories for chemicals production has promised to deliver new routes to chemicals production. Major hurdles to scaled production of chemicals…
When: 1 October, 15:00Where: Watch Now Prof. Dr. Matthias Beller (LIKAT Rostock) gave a seminar on recent advancements in catalysis. 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…
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…
