2019 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Catalysis with Microporous and Mesoporous Materials II: Liquid-Phase Reactions

This session focuses on catalysis over a wide array of porous materials. Papers on the synthesis and structural and mechanistic characterization of inorganic/organic molecular sieve materials useful as catalysts for petrochemical synthesis and environmental remediation are invited.
