program

The submission of papers describing original experimental and/or theoretical research in all areas of heterogeneous/homogeneous catalysis and materials is invited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
 

Catalysis, Materials, and Reaction Engineering for Environmental Protection

• Mobile/stationary source emissions control
• Photo- & electrocatalysis for emissions control
• CO₂ capture, conversion, or sequestration
• Clean feedstocks and fuels (HDN, HDS)
• VOC and groundwater remediation

Catalysis, Materials, and Reaction Engineering for Industrial Chemicals

• Commodity chemicals and polymers
• Specialty or fine chemicals and polymers
• Acid-base, partial oxidation, hydrogenation, organometallics
• Non-petrochemical feedstocks or green/alternative processes

Catalysis, Materials, and Reaction Engineering for Fuel Production/Utilization

• Syngas and H₂ production
• Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and gas-to-liquids
• Fuel cells and electrolysis
• Photochemical and electrochemical synthesis
• Biomass conversion to fuels

Emerging Issues: Novel Materials, Theory, and Experimental Methods

• Novel materials for catalysis, energy conversion, energy storage
• Novel approaches to materials synthesis
• Computational catalysis
• Nano-structured materials and clusters for structure-property investigation
• Biomimetic catalysis
• Advanced characterization techniques (ex situ, in situ, or operando)
• Photo- or microwave-assisted catalysis
• Reactions with unconventional media (supercritical fluids, ionic liquids, novel solvents)
• Advanced reactor technologies (multifunctional, structured, microchannel)
  
   

Final acceptance and notification of oral or poster presentation will be conditional on the confirmed registration of at least one submission author.
