Track 1: Chemical Reaction Engineering

Catalysis, as a key and enabling technology, plays an increasingly important role in fields ranging from energy, environment, and agriculture to health care. Rational design and synthesis of highly efficient catalysts have become the ultimate goal of catalysis research. In the field of chemical industry and industrial research, catalysis plays an imperative role. Different catalysts are in continual progress to attain economic, political and environmental desire. When using a catalyst it can swap a polluting chemical reaction with a more environmentally friendly alternative. Today, and in the future, this can be vital for the chemical industry. In addition, it’s important for a company/researcher to pay attention to market development. Some of the large chemical processes that use catalysis today are the production of methanol and ammonia.

Synthesis forms a considerable component of most programs in this area. Mechanistic scrutiny are often undertaken to discover how an unexpected product is formed or to rearrange the recital of a catalytic system. Because synthesis and catalysis are essential, to the construction of new materials, Catalysts are progressively used by chemists busy in fine chemical synthesis within both industry and academia. Today, there prevail huge choices of high-tech catalysts, which add enormously to the repertoire of synthetic possibilities. However, catalysts are intermittently fickle, sometimes grueling to use and almost always require both skill and experience in order to achieve optimal results

Track 5: Organometallic catalysis and  Organocatalysis

A swift progress in the research of organometallic and coordination compounds has a trigger to the advancement and effective industrial application of a number of catalytic processes based on the use of these compounds as catalysts. The major advantage of organometallic catalysis that has led to its widespread adoption by industry is selectivity, the ability to produce pure products in high yield.

The dearth of metal in organocatalyst brings an indisputable advantage considering both the principles of “green chemistry” and the economic point of view. It is a novel synthetic philosophy and mostly an alternative to the prevalent transition metal catalysis. Organocatalysts are often based on nontoxic organic compounds originating from biological materials.

Track 9: Polymer Engineering

Polymer engineering is a sub-field of materials engineering primarily focusing on the development of new products. Polymer engineers often study plastics, although other substances are also considered polymers. It is emerging as one of the most important fields of engineering with varied applications in low weight–high strength designs, aerospace applications and in general replacing metals with same strength with lesser density.

Besides the design of the polymers and particles, we also address the issues of cost-effectiveness and reaction engineering, especially in water-based polymerization techniques like emulsion polymerization.

The sustainable, environmentally friendly and economical production of monomers and polymers requires highly efficient catalysts. Use of catalysis for non-polymer related processes, such as hydrogenation, selective oxidation, and others.

The focus of the Polymer Engineering & Characterisation (PEC) division is in two main areas:

Track 10: Pyrolysis

Reorganization of a compound into smaller and simpler compounds, or compounds of lofty molecular weight, under elevated temperatures usually in the range of 400°C to 800°C to as high as 1400°C. It differs from combustion in that it occurs in the absence of air and therefore no oxidation takes place. The pyrolytic disintegration of wood forms a large number of chemical substances. Some of these chemicals can be used as substitutes for conventional fuels. The dispersal of the products varies with the chemical composition of the biomass and the operating conditions.

Track 11: Biomass: slow pyrolysis and Fast pyrolysis

Slow pyrolysis at low to moderate temperatures (around 300 °C) and long reaction times (up to days) has been used for thousands of years for the conversion of wood into high yields of charcoal (bio-carbon). The slow pyrolysis process generates also lower yields of bio-oil and gaseous products. However, in the past 30 years, fast pyrolysis, carried out at intermediate temperatures (around 500 °C) and very short reaction times (1 to 5 seconds) has become of considerable interest as a method for producing higher yields of bio-oil (normally around 65 wt%) with significantly higher energy density than the original biomass, in addition to bio-carbon (20%) and gas (15%).

Depending on the pyrolysis  process and on the biomass material utilized, both the yields as well as the physical and chemical characteristics of the products and consequently, their performance, vary considerably.

The mounting demand for greener fuel will boost the growth of the market in the next four years. Industrial catalysts help in the removal of nitrogen and sulfur from petroleum products and offer solutions to an upgraded version of oil fractions for clean fuels. Some of the top companies have started using biodiesel, ethanol, natural gas, and propane as alternatives to traditional petroleum products, which helps in reducing carbon emissions and costs. The governments of several countries have mandated certain regulations for oil manufacturing companies to reduce carbon pollution by 10%.

Catalysts modulate the rate of chemical reaction by dropping or mounting the activation energy of the process. However, they are not used up during the reaction; moreover, consumed catalysts can be reprocessed after cure. Various catalysts available in the market include zeolites, enzymes, chemical compounds, and metals that are used in industries such as automotive, industrial reactions, oil & gas, construction, and others. Biocompatibility of enzyme catalysts has made it ideal for usage in the manufacture of a wide range of life science and food products such as ointments, cosmetics, packaged foods, and modified dairy products. 

Progression in macroeconomic developments such as global population growth coupled with surging economic progress in emerging economies, stringent environmental legislation regarding automotive emissions, and increase in a number of applications in end-user industries are the factors that drive the market growth. Asia-Pacific is expected to register substantial growth in the near future, owing to a rise in demand for automotive from emerging economies, such as India and China. In addition, the rise in living standards and rapid industrialization activities in the region also support the growth and development of the catalyst market. Moreover, the expansion of biochemicals through catalysis presents new opportunities for future growth. However, circumscribed development and distribution of new catalysts hamper the market growth.

The expansion of refinery capacity is one of the key factors leading to the growth of this market. Several refineries are focusing on reducing residue feedstock yield using hydroprocessing catalysts. Furthermore, the governments of several countries have strict environmental rules and regulations, which are mandatory for oil producing companies.
