Title: Zeolite Catalysts for Conversion of Bio - based Feedstocks
Speaker: Elias Klemm, Universität Stuttgar
Venue: Lecture Room, 3rd floor, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering
Time: 15.00, Sept. 16, 2019/9/16
Research Areas:
1. Nanoporous solid materials like zeolites, metal organic frameworks, mesoporous silica and carbon nano materials.
2. Heterogeneous catalysis with focus on electrocatalysis, energy-related catalysis, selective (de)hydrogenation and oxidation reactions
3. Operando techniques in catalysis like solid-state NMR, IR, and XRD.
4. Reaction engineering investigations like selectivity/conversion optimization, spacetime yield and faraday and energy efficiency maximization as well as kinetic measurements, basic engineering and scale-up.
Abstract:
Co-feeding bio-oil to vacuum gas oil in the FCC process (so-called Co-FCC) and lactic acid dehydration to acrylic acid. Adjusting the acidic/basic and electrophilic/nucleophilic properties of zeolites as well as the geometric constraint yielded optimum zeolite catalysts for the respective application. Hierarchical structures should allow to further optimize the catalysts.
