Industrial chemistry
Our research group concentrates on the phenomena present in the chemical reactor. Our research focuses especially on the
- preparation and characterization of catalysts
- measuring the activity of catalysts
- modelling of reaction kinetics
Our group has profound knowledge on the kinetic modelling of reactions and heat and mass transfer. We have studied extensively hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, dimerization, etherification, removal of sulphur and oxygen, isomerization, reforming, oxidation and hydroformylation.
We combine our catalyst research with our expertise in reaction kinetics especially in studying the production of environmentally friendly fuels. Special emphasis is in the production of hydrogen for fuel cells and of liquid fuels from biomass.
