Catalyst design and applications

Catalyst design is fundamental to advance in the generation of advanced products, chemicals and fuels for the chemical industry. With this view, this course is aim to provide an overview of conventional vs novel/alternative methodologies currently in place or under development for the synthesis of catalysts in view of various applications in catalytic reactions that will be further discussed . In addition, the course will include lectures on deactivation phenomena of catalysts (types) and measures to control them and characterisation techniques to be employed for that purpose.
