Laboratory for Catalysis and Chemical Reaction Engineering
PODRO^JA DEJAVNOSTI
[tudij kemijskih pretvorb razli~nih izhodnih
spojin v `elene produkte v homogenih in
heterogenih kataliziranih ali nekataliziranih
sistemih. Teoreti~na dolo~itev termodinamskih
mo`nosti za potek pretvorb in eksperimentalna
dolo~itev kineti~nih parametrov poteka teh
pretvorb. Ker v praksi ve~ina fizikalnih in
kemijskih pretvorb poteka v ve~faznih sistemih,
je velik del raziskav namenjenih {tudiju interakcij
kemijske kinetike s transportnimi pojavi.
Raziskave potekajo s poudarkom na:
- oksidaciji organskih polutantov v membranskih
reaktorjih
- optimizaciji hidrodinamskih pogojev obratovanja
eno- in ve~cevnih membranskih
kontaktorjev
- interpretaciji eksperimentalnih meritev na
podlagi matemati~nega modeliranja in
optimizacije parametrov
- razvoju Pd-Cu bimetalnih katalizatorjev,
uporabljenih v integriranem procesu za
denitrifikacijo podtalnice
- kineti~nim in mehanisti~nim {tudijam

RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
Study of the chemical transformation of reactants
to desirable products in homogeneous
and heterogeneous catalytic or non-catalytic
systems. Theoretical determination of thermodynamic
possibility for certain transformation
and experimental determination of kinetic parameters
for these transformations. In practice
most physical and chemical transformations
occur in the multiphase systems, therefore research
efforts are focused on the study of the
interaction between intrinsic kinetics and transport
phenomena. The emphasys of the research
is put on:
- catalytic wet oxidation of organics dissolved
in wastewater carried out in membrane reactors
- optimization of process hydrodynamic conditions
in single- and multi-channel membrane
contactors
- interpretation of experimental data through
mathematical modelling and optimization of
parameters
- development of Pd-Cu bimetallic catalysts for
