General Info: Characterisation in Catalysis Research

NIOK Special Graduate Course on Characterisation in Catalysis Research

NIOK organizes a 3 to 5-day course on the characterization of catalysts at the Eindhoven University of Technology.

The exact date and location are not known yet, though this years’ course will be most likely scheduled for end of October 2010.

Although the emphasis of the course will be on the characterization of industrial heterogeneous catalysts by means of spectroscopy, microscopy and diffraction, some attention will be devoted to important model systems such as singlecrystal surfaces, organometallic complexes and particles on planar supports as well.

The course also covers modern in-situ techniques to study catalysts during catalytic testing. The course will
be taught by a number of experts.
