Development of novel catalyst regeneration technologies for biomass conversion into valuable chemicals: experimental and modelling investigation

University of Strathclyde Department of Chemical and Process Engineering
Lignocellulosic biomass is a green alternative fossil resource to produce fuels and value-added chemicals (e.g. polyols). Petronas have successfully developed Raney nickel and tungstic acid binary catalysts used in direct synthesis of pre-treated biomass hydrogenolysis to polyols. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr X Zhang, Dr D Neagu
 5 January 2024  PhD Research Project  Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

Measurement of the Adhesive Strength of the Catalyst Support

University of Sheffield Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering
To increase the contact area of the chemical reactions, catalytically active materials are dispersed on the catalyst support. The catalyst is mostly in the form of a coated layer on a substrate. Read more
 Supervisor: Prof AD Salman
 Year round applications  PhD Research Project  Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Understanding homogeneous catalyst solvation in ionic liquids using 2D-IR spectroscopy

University of York Department of Chemistry
Background. Catalysis underpins chemical synthesis. It is estimated that around 85% of chemical products involve catalysis during their preparation and catalysis contributes over £50 billion a year to the UK economy (UKRI estimates). Read more
 Supervisors: Dr J Slattery, Prof J M Lynam, Prof N Hunt, Prof D W Bruce
