Use of supercritical conditions for developing eco-efficient processes in chemical industry

Objective

This project investigates the possibility of developing innovative processes for a sustaillable chemistry exploring new synthetic catalytic routes in supercritical fluids (SFCs) as alternative reaction media which provides environmental friendly approaches to improve the environmental impact of current commercial processes and be a breakthrough technology towards super selective catalysis. Specifically, this project will demonstrate the techno-economical feasibility of two classes of large- scale reactions of industrial relevance in supercritical conditions:
(1) transal- kylation of alkylaromatics and
(2) oxidation of alkylaromatics.
The use of SCFs (scCO2) as environmental friendly solvents in catalytic reactions is pointed out.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.
