Advanced Catalytic Processes

Postdoctoral researcher Tanja Kolli

Contents: The course contents is divided into the following themes 1) surface chemistry and catalysis, 2) new catalyst preparation methods, 3) catalysis for sustainability, and green chemistry and catalysis, 4) design of catalysts and catalytic processes (reactor and process intensification, process improvements, new catalysts and catalytic processes, new opportunities by catalysis), 5) phenomena integration and catalysis and 6) new innovations in catalyst research.The course will be arranged every second year. The course will be arranged for the first time in autumn 2009. Course can be performed in English. Contact Professor Keiski.
