KOSK-Katalyse og organisk syntetisk kjemi

Hydrogenation of CO with different CO/H2 ratios and in the presence of olefins. TILKNYTTET 154092/431

The short contact time reactor can be designed and optimized for producing synthesis gas by partial oxidation of hydrocarbons. However, in addition to synthesis gas high yields of olefins can also be obtained by partial oxidation of NGL (C2-C4) compounds at very short conta...

Nitropyridyl isocyanate

Isocyanates constitute an important class of compounds in organic chemistry. Because of their instability and high reactivity the heterocyclic isocyanates have however not got the same attention as the respective aromatic compounds in synthesis and reacti vity studies. We have recently shown that...

KOSK-Katalyse og organisk syntetisk kjemi

Metallocene catalysts for production of block polymers

Simple metallocenes like Cp2ZrCl2 will in copolymerization produce polymers with a statistical comonomer distribution. It has previously been shown that special metallocene catalysts can make copolymers with other microstructures, especially copolymers th at contains alternating blocks of homopol...

KOSK-Katalyse og organisk syntetisk kjemi

Metal Complex Catalysis in Conversion of Natural Gas to Value-Added Products

Norway has large reserves of natural gas. Today, it is mainly exported as is, with only a minor part being processed domestically into value-added products. This project is aimed at contributing to economically and ecologically improved processes for conv erting natural gas into value-added produ...

KOSK-Katalyse og organisk syntetisk kjemi

Studier av N-sulfinyldienofiler i Diels-Alder reaksjoner katalysert av kirale overgangsmetall-komplekser

Prosjektet tar sikte på å utvikle katalysatorer for asymmetriske Diel-Alder reaksjoner mellom N-sulfinyldienofiler og diener. Kirale katalysatorer med lewis syre egenskaper basert på overgangsmetaller vil bli designet, fremstilt og testet. I de tilfellerd er Diels-Alder produktene viser akseptabe...

KOSK-Katalyse og organisk syntetisk kjemi

Sykliske disulfonimider. Fremstilling og reaktivitet av aminbaserte utgående grupper

Aryl- og alkylsulfonatderivater av alkoholer gir en rikholdig kjemi for aktivering av OH-grupper for videre funksjonalisering. OH-grupper er i seg selv generelt dårlige, ikke selektive utgående grupper. En tilsvarende kjemi for aminer eksisterer ikke. Imi dertid har syntesegruppen ved NTNU demons...

Hydrotalcite-like compounds as catalytic materials for the conversion of natural gas components (light alkanes) to synthesis gas

Light alkanes (C2-C4) constitute approximately 10% of the North Sea natural gas (NG). Pre-reforming of C2-C4 is an important part of modern synthesis gas plants, such as Statoil’s methanol plant at Tjeldbergodden. Reforming of natural gas also has a poten tial use as a source for hydrogen product...
