Catalysis and Chemical Engineering

Heterogeneous Catalysis and Industrial Applications

This track explores heterogeneous catalytic systems vital to refining, petrochemicals, and environmental applications. Topics include support materials, surface interactions, active site characterization, and industrial catalyst deactivation mechanisms. Focus will be given to process intensification, catalyst reusability, and energy-efficient reaction pathways. Speakers will address industrial case studies involving zeolites, metal oxides, and supported nanoparticles. New approaches in catalyst synthesis, including sol-gel, hydrothermal, and atomic layer deposition, will be covered. Attention will also be given to emissions control technologies like SCR and catalytic converters.
