Description and Table of Contents
Description
Many processes of the chemical industry are based on heterogeneous catalysis. Two important items of these processes are the development of the catalyst itself and the design and optimization of the reactor. Both aspects would benefit from rigorous and accurate kinetic modelling, based on information on the working catalyst gained from classical steady state experimentation, but also from studies using surface science techniques, from quantum chemical calculations providing more insight into possible reaction pathways and from transient experimentation dealing with reactions and reactors. This information is seldom combined into a kinetic model and into a quantitative description of the process. Generally the catalytic aspects are dealt with by chemists and physicists, while the chemical engineers are called upon for mechanical aspects of the reactor design and its control. The symposium aims at illustrating a more global and concerted appoach through a number of keynote lectures and oral and poster presentations.
