Conference Theme and Topics
 

Catalysis/ Catalytic processes represent an integral part of process reactor systems, which serves as the heart of process operations in the chemical and life sciences industries. In addition, as environmental regulations become more stringent, alternative "cleaner" synthesis routes would have to be developed for chemical production and the need for novel catalytic systems become apparent. The following areas have been identified as key topics in this symposium:

  • Hydrotreatment and hydrodesulphurisation through catalysis
  • Catalytic behaviour on surfaces
  • C-C/ C-H bond formation & polymerisation
  • Zeolites/ oxides & mesoporous materials
  • Catalytic process development
