Paraffin Activation
This programme concentrates on the potential to utilise large volumes of carbon-based feedstock in the form of linear alkanes through the activation of the alkane backbone by the introduction of functional groups or double bonds through homo-, hetero- and bio-catalysis approaches.
Read MoreRSA Olefins
RSA Olefins attempts to develop predominantly homogeneous catalytic processes to tap into the large volume stream of even and unevenly chained primary olefins originating from the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The main target products are detergents and surfactants.
Read MoreSynthesis Gas
The syngas programme deals predominantly with heterogeneously catalysed synthesis gas conversion reactions such as the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, methanation, preferential CO oxidation and similar, with emphasis on their product formation routes, i.e. selectivity governing mechanisms.
