New transient operated liquid phase reactor

Dejan Radivojevic developed and demonstrated a new transient operated liquid phase reactor, enabling titration of surface species via pulse sequences as well as step change experiments. Specific detectors, for continuously measuring the composition of the liquid leaving the reactor, as well as specific structured reactors were developed for this purpose. ... read more

Hairy Foam Catalysts – towards control at the catalytic site

Metal Foams (surface area <1m2/g) are promising materials as catalyst support to overcome pressure drop in fixed bed reactors and to optimize hydrodynamics. The demands of catalysis like high surface area and porosity on metal foams can be achieved by growing Carbon Nano Fibers (CNFs). ... read more
