Heterogeneous catalysis
We are updating our website and more information on current research activities will be available soon.
A representative description regarding heterogeneous catalysis is given below.
Heterogeneous catalysis
- Synthesis, characterization and tesing of new catalysts
- Process design and technoeconomic analysis & LCA
- Catalytic fast pyrolysis of biomass, lignin, organic wastes, plastics to chemicals, fuels and LPG
- Hydro-deoxygenation of biomass/lignin bio-oils towards green fuels
- Hydro-deoxygenation/isomerization of algae lipids towards green fuels
- Catalytic hydrogenolysis of cellulose and lignin
- Catalytic upgrading (dehydration, isomerization, condensation, oxidation, hydrogenation) of biomass derived sugars, furans, acids, phenolics
- Catalytic cracking of heavy petroleum feeds (FCC) and Fischer-Tropsch bio-waxes to gasoline and LPG
- Methanol-to-gasoline/propylene (MTO/MTP); Methanol to DME
- Epoxidation of ethylene/propylene; epoxidation of fatty acids and triglycerides.
