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.
