La Rochelle - ISGC 2022
It was not possible to attend any conference in person during the past two years due to the COVID-19 crisis. Luckily, we survived, the dark times are over and conferences are now open. Our young trio – Jarda, Bogdan and Andrey, travelled to France to visit International Symposium on Green Chemistry 2022 in La Rochelle. The main conference topics reflected our environmental issues such as carbon neutrality and energy sustainability In the following decades. Therefore, most of the contributions were focused on biomass valorisation, production of green fuels, or green upgrade of current processes in terms of process sustainability. Our team gave three oral presentations on our current research topics. We believe that our contribution enriched the chemical society.
Our presentations:
- Investigation of environmentally-friendly Cu-based hydrogenolysis catalysts.
- Investigation of demethoxylation mechanism of anisole over Raney-Ni catalyst.
- Production of fuel precursors by aldol condensation of furfural with acetone using hydrotalcite-based MgAl catalysts.
