Welcome to the Institute of Chemical Reaction Engineering!
With several different fields of research we develop catalyst systems for industrially relevant chemical reactions towards increased productivity, selectivity and reduced costs and ecological impact. Together with the development of novel materials for application in chemical processes, we want to intensify the production of chemicals in order to gain a better ecological and economical footprint.
This time, the CBI project planning course was given a global topic by the industrial partner BASF SE: in the course of three weeks, the students were to demonstrate how the chemical industry in Germany can be transformed into a CO2-neutral industry. For this purpose, the need for renewable energies...
In a joint publication between the groups of Peter Wasserscheid (CRT) and Matthias Thommes (TVT), we were able to showcase the performance of supported catalytically active liquid metal solutions (SCALMS) for isobutane dehydrogenation. The focus of the work, published in the high-ranked Chemical Eng...
