Topics

The topics covered during FCCat 2019 will address the main societal challenges in a context of energy transition : fundamental and applied catalysis, refining and petrochemical processes, alternative energy solutions, renewable and fine chemicals, environment and sustainable development including recycling.

To facilitate the refereeing procedure, during the abstract submission process, you will be asked to describe the content of your abstract by making a selection among these different items:

1/ You will indicate which main FIELD of catalysis is concerned: only 1 choice

• Heterogeneous catalysis
• Homogeneous catalysis
• Hybrid approaches and multi-catalysis
• Photocatalysis
• Electrocatalysis
• Biocatalysis
• Chemical engineering

2/ You will describe the main methodological aspects discussed (METHODS): multiple choice possible

• Preparation
• Characterization
• In situ and operando analysis
• Kinetics
• Modeling (including theorical chemistry)
• Testing
• Methodology
• Catalytic process development

 3/ You will choose the main domain of APPLICATIONS concerned by your abstract: multiple choice possible

• Conversion of fossil feedstock
• Conversion of biomass and biomass derived molecules
• Environment and sustainable development
• C1 chemistry (CH₄, CO, CO₂...)
• Selective hydrogenation
• Oxidation catalysis
• H₂ production
• Key intermediates for petrochemistry
• Key-intermediates for specialty and fine chemicals
