PhD in Chemistry - The development of kinetic models for phosgene synthesis over heterogeneous catalysts

University of Glasgow College of Science and Engineering

Phosgene is an important intermediate used in the industrial manufacture of polyurethanes, polycarbonates, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It is typically manufactured industrially via the gas phase reaction between carbon monoxide and chlorine over an activated carbon catalyst. Read more
