Yang, W. (author)The growing demands for sustainable chemical technologies have prompted a wave of searching new catalysts based on earth-abundant metals. In the field of (de)hydrogenation catalysis, however, the huge performance gap is commonly seen between the 3d-metal-based catalysts and their noble metal counterparts, which largely hampers their practical...doctoral thesis 2022

Franz, R.P.M. (author)The abundance of methane has led to a strong interest to use methane as a feedstock in the chemical industry. One of the main challenges is the initial activation of the methane molecule. In this thesis, heterogeneous catalysts for two different methane conversion processes are investigated. Firstly, the deactivation of supported Ni catalysts...doctoral thesis 2021

Westsson, E.E. (author)The increasing energy demand of the world population in combination with tangible climate change effects stemming from rising carbon dioxide emissions is currently characterizing a large portion of the political and societal debate. Despite huge technological advancement in the field of renewable energy resulting in energy prices lower than that...doctoral thesis 2019

Vollmer, I. (author)In view of rising global demand for aromatics as starting chemical for many commodity goods as well as pharmaceuticals, new routes for production are explored. Since the advent of fracking, natural gas has become increasingly cheap and direct utilization for aromatics production has gained attractiveness. Methane dehydroaromatization represents...doctoral thesis 2019

Puspitasari, I. (author)The objectives of this PhD project are to address the challenges of in-situ TEM and introduce a new generation of in-situ TEM equipment. In Chapter 2 the in-situ TEM facilities are introduced, focusing on the nanoreactor that has gone through quite some development stages during this project. Several types of in-situ TEM nanoreactors were...doctoral thesis 2016

Churakova, E. (author)Biocatalytic oxyfunctionalizations, especially of non - activated hydrocarbons, attract considerable attention for synthetic organic chemistry thanks to their high chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity, which difficult to achieve by chemical means. Many enzymatic oxyfunctionalizations have been described. However, there are many hurdles towards...doctoral thesis 2014

Juan-Alcaniz, J. (author)The last few decades have witnessed the unprecedented explosion of a new research field built around Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs). MOFs are crystalline porous solids consisting of metal ions (also named clusters) coordinated to often rigid organic molecules (also called ligands) to form one- two-, or three- dimensional structures. This...doctoral thesis 2013

Durka, T. (author)Due to the quest for more efficient production processes both from the energy and selectivity point of view, microwave irradiation has attracted significant scientific attention over the last three decades, as an alternative means of chemical activation. Over this period, striking process benefits, such as higher conversions and selectivities...doctoral thesis 2013

Bakker, J.J.W. (author)The performance of heterogeneous catalysts in multiphase reactions in general is governed by different types of extrinsic and intrinsic structural effects on all length scales, i.e., on the macro- (m to cm), meso- (mm to µm), and microlevel (nm). This PhD research, with a catalysis-engineering approach, focused on several of these multiscale...doctoral thesis 2012

Nederlof, C. (author)This research work on the catalytic dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene (EB) to styrene (ST) had a primary goal of developing improved catalysts for dehydrogenation processes both in CO2 as well as with O2 that can compete with the conventional dehydrogenation process in steam. In order to achieve this goal, all these processes need to be properly...doctoral thesis 2012

Telalovic, S. (author)Heterogeneous catalysts, namely zeolites (crystalline aluminosilicates with pore size up to 1.2 nm) are applied in the production of mostly small sized, bulk chemicals due to their narrow pore size. To extend the use of heterogeneous catalysts for the production of fine chemicals by employment of mesoporous materials that can accommodate much...doctoral thesis 2011

Almeida, A.R. (author)Chemical processes are generally operated at elevated temperatures and pressures, and energy intensive separations are usually necessary. This thesis focuses on the production of cyclohexanone, which is an intermediate of high commercial importance as a result of its use in nylon-6 and nylon-6,6 production. Using TiO2 based photo-catalysis is a...doctoral thesis 2010

Kanbak-Aksu, S. (author)Selective oxidation reactions are important transformations for the production of fine chemicals. However, there is a need to replace current oxidation methods by more sustainable alternatives. In this respect the use of biocatalysts offers a large benefit, because they operate under mild conditions, and their use is accompanied by high chemo-,...doctoral thesis 2010
