2018 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Fundamentals of Catalysis II: Hydrogenation in Supported Catalysis

This session seeks contributions on understanding the fundamentals of reactivity of supported heterogeneous catalysts based on kinetic, spectroscopic and theoretical studies. Contributions can potentially include kinetic and mechanistic studies of supported metal or bulk oxide structures as well as organic-inorganic catalyst systems.
