Heterogeneous catalysis, where the reagents are either contained in a liquid medium, or are liquids in their own right, plays a significant part of the chemical industry. These...

The proposal aims to use neutron scattering coupled with NMR spectroscopy to study the selective hydrogenation of a fragrance (cinnamaldehyde) to high value products. The study...

This proposal aims to investigate the dynamics of ortho-/meta-/para- xylene, mesitylene and 1,3,5- Trihydroxybenzene. Improved understanding of their dynamics is relevant to...

Catalysis is defined as the increase of the rate of the reaction or directing the reaction to one of the thermodynamically permitted pathways that lead to different products. It...

In a proof-of-concept beamtime award (RB1220486) we studied the process of platinum-catalysed benzene hydrogenation in the pores of MCM-41 using standard neutron diffraction...

Liquid phase heterogeneous catalysis makes up one the largest proportions of chemical industry. The catalysed phenyacetelene hydrogenation reaction is of great interest as it is...

It has been estimated that 80-90 % of chemical processes use catalysis in at least one step of the production process. Their use increases the energy efficiency of the process...
