Abstract
(x) C 1 chemistry: Methane activation (oxidative coupling to ethylene, direct oxidation to methanol and/or formaldehyde) ; syntheses from CO and H2 (e.g. higher alcohols, C2 oxygenates). Alkane activation (e.g. dehydrogenation to alkenes, ammoxidation of propane, controlled oxidation and oxychlorination of ethane) . Highly selective syntheses in the field of fine chemistry. Regarding the topics of environmental protection; Catalysts for the abatement of pollutants from motor vehicles. More selective catalysts designed to reduce the emission of polluting effluents from industrial processes. Catalysts for alternative syntheses from less harmful feedstocks (or intermediates), particularly where the present technology involves the use of hazardous reactants for the environment or for the human beings. Catalysts for the desulphurisation of liquid hydrocarbon fractions. Catalytic methods aimed at the elimination of pollutants in the flue gases (e.g. DeNOx for gas turbines, incinerators, boilers and Diesel engines, combined DeNOx and DeSOx, hot desulphurisation) . Catalytic combustion for power applications, aimed at reducing the NOx emissions. Catalysts for reformulated gasolines. For each topic you choose to focus on (ideally two or more) : (a) what is the objective and the potential impact? (b) What progress should be made? (c) How realistic is the objective? (d) Is it related to other fields of catalysis? (e) If so, how could progress in the other fields help the objective?
