At the AIChE Annual Meeting, catalysis sessions typically cover a broad range of themes:
1. Catalyst Design and Synthesis: Innovations in catalyst materials, including nanocatalysts and porous materials. 2. Reaction Mechanisms: Studies on reaction pathways and mechanisms using advanced techniques like in-situ characterization. 3. Industrial Catalysis: Applications in refining, petrochemicals, and green chemistry. 4. Environmental Catalysis: Catalysts for pollution control, including CO2 reduction and wastewater treatment. 5. Computational Catalysis: The use of machine learning and quantum chemistry for catalyst design.
