Research Interest
Sorption and catalytic processes for energetic and environmental applications, such as CO2 capture and its possible conversion to added value products; different catalytic processes (reforming of organic molecules, CO oxidation-chemisorption process as a possible syngas separation, NOx reduction and H2 production),in high temperature dense membranes for CO2 separation and biodiesel production using different basic heterogeneous catalysts.
