Moderation: Eberhard Ehlers
Catalytic processes are the key to sustainable syntheses in the chemical industry. Processes that use heterogeneous catalysts dominate. Nevertheless, homogeneously catalysed processes have established themselves industrially for both basic chemicals and fine chemicals. Their high selectivities minimise the amount of by-products - which is not only an economic advantage, but also protects our environment. In addition to selectivity, the decisive success factors are the activity and service life of the catalysts used.
Moderation: Klaus-Peter Jäckel
Carbon dioxide is the carbon carrier of our planet. All naturally occurring organic bodies, including fossil fuels, are formed from it through photosynthesis/sunlight. Even though carbon dioxide is an extremely low-energy molecule, it can still undergo chemical reactions. However, this requires high-energy reaction partners such as hydrogen, ethylene oxide or ammonia. The lecture will present established syntheses with carbon dioxide as well as new syntheses currently under development. These include very large-volume syntheses of fuels (e-fuels), for example. However, their demand for (sustainable!) energy is enormous.
