Sulfur in transportation fuels remains a leading source of SOx emissions from vehicle engines and is a major source of air pollution. The very low levels of sulfur globally mandated for transportation fuels in the near future cannot be achieved by current practices of hydrodesul…

Open-flow hot isostatic pressing (OFHIP) technique is applied for synthesizing molecular sieves and highly porous catalytic materials. First, the isostatic pressure is applied to the starting material/catalyst precursor, and then heat is applied. Under this condition, as the org…
Hydroxymethylation catalysis provides a valuable strategy for the high volume production of alcohols from α-alkenes. Generally this involves a hydroformylation-hydrogenation sequence, but the capacity to optimise selectivity for each transformation is limited. Condensation react…
Heterogeneous enantioselective catalysis strives to create new successful catalysts. One of the most researched examples is the hydrogenation β-ketoesters using nickel-based catalysts. A hindrance in the industrial scale-up of this enantioselective hydrogenation reaction is the …
Several heterogeneously catalysed reactions have been studied at pressures above and below the critical pressure of carbon dioxide in both carbon dioxide and nitrogen. The purpose of this study was to ascertain if carbon dioxide above its critical pressure and temperature would …
Ce[subscript(x)]Zr[subscript(1-x)]O₂ mixed oxides of varying compositions were prepared by a sol-gel citrate complexion technique. In order to improve the catalytic activity of the oxides they were impregnated with copper using two different impregnation techniques. The bare oxi…
Palladium complexes of bis(di-tert-butylphosphinomethyl)benzene (DTBPMB) show remarkably high activity as alkene methoxycarbonylation catalysts, in addition to numerous other catalytic conversions, and are currently being commercialised by Lucite in ethene methoxycarbonylation t…
