Advanced reaction engineering

The unit will develop a higher level understanding of reaction kinetics, catalysis and reactor design, including:

• isothermal and non-isothermal reactor design - steady and unsteady states
• runaway reactions, reactor safety and reactive hazards
• heterogeneous catalysis, photocatalysis and biocatalysis
• diffusion effects in catalytic reactions
• residence time distribution
• non-ideal reactor design and operation
• density functional theory in catalysis
• reactor design strategy for different industries including CO2 utilization
• advanced reactor concepts for graphene production
• use of metal organic frameworks in energy applications including catalysis
• use of Gold as catalyst
