Lecture Title
Fundamental Concepts in Heterogeneous Catalysis
Lecture Abstract
This lecture provides an overview of heterogeneous catalysis, focusing on its core principles, mechanisms, and applications. The session begins by exploring the multiscale nature of catalysis, from the molecular level (e.g., active sites, adsorption, and surface reactions) to the macroscopic level (e.g., reactor design and industrial processes).
Key topics—such as the difference between chemisorption and physisorption, the role of catalyst characterization techniques (including spectroscopy and BET analysis), and the basics of reaction kinetics (e.g., Langmuir-Hinshelwood and Eley-Rideal models)—will be presented. Meanwhile, catalyst synthesis methods (e.g., impregnation, sol-gel processes) and challenges like deactivation and regeneration will be briefly addressed.
The lecture will also touch upon the use of computational tools like DFT and the integration of catalysis in sustainable processes, such as biorefineries. We will also discuss frequent pitfalls in catalysis—such as neglecting mass transfer limitations—so students can anticipate and prevent them in their own practical work.

Lecture Title
Nanokinetics in heterogeneous catalysis: beyond the classical approaches.
Lecture Abstract
An overview of the recent developments of heterogeneous catalytic kinetic concepts will be presented. An emphasis will be put on application of mechanistically sound models, which are needed as a part of understanding of catalytic reactions on a molecular level as well as for design and intensification of chemical processes. Such models should include among other parameters the size and geometry of reacting molecules, the size of the pores and nanoclusters.

Lecture Title
Principles and exemplars of non-thermal plasma catalysis using heterogeneous catalysts
Lecture Abstract
This presentation will examine the use of non-thermal plasmas to activate heterogeneous catalysts. The fundamentals of the processes will be presented and illustrated using examples from environmental control, hydrogen production and purification as well as CO2 conversion. In addition to the reaction outcomes, the measurement of reaction kinetics on the plasma catalysis will be exemplified as well as the development of in-situ characterisation tools to examine the mechanism of the processes. Some options for scaling up/out the reactor set ups will also be discussed.
