Heterogeneous Catalytic Hydrogenation 2020

Heterogeneous Catalytic Hydrogenation 2020 is a course that covers topics such as:

• Theory of catalysis on surfaces
• Surfaces and metal surfaces
• Kinetics (micro- and macrokinetics)
• Transport steps and chemical steps in heterogeneous catalysis
• Hydrogen sources (molecular hydrogen, hydrogen transfer agents, hydrogen solubilities)
• Influence of variables (overview)
• Influence of solvents
• Hydrogenation catalysts (catalyst types, catalyst preparation, catalyst properties, catalyst activation and deactivation)
• Influence of substrates
• Influence of acids, bases, additives, modifiers
• Chemical group transformations
• Influence of reaction conditions (concentrations, temperature, agitation)
• Tools and guidelines for selection of chemical systems, determination of basic reaction data and successful scale up from laboratory to plant
• Reaction engineering aspects: suspension and fixed bed reactors; batch, semibatch and continuous operation modes
• Economical aspects
• Hydrogenation in laboratory and plant
• Analysis of surfaces and catalysts
• Safety aspects
• Rules of thumb, pitfalls

Heterogeneous Catalytic Hydrogenation 2020 brings together:

• Development and Production Chemists
• Organic Chemists
• Chemical Engineers

Heterogeneous Catalytic Hydrogenation 2020 might be held in June 2020 (Not Final).
