2nd Catalytic seminar in Ostrava

Just like last year, our doctoral students Jaroslav Aubrecht, Violetta Pospelova and Bogdan Shumeiko from the group of Dr. David Kubička took part in the 2nd Catalytic seminar, that was held on 6 February at the Technical University of Ostrava. The seminar was also attended by a master student Petr Pozděna, who had a chance to present his results to a professional audience. The main aim of the seminar is to present and discuss its results with other colleagues in the field. Three of the four presentations were focused on a complex study of copper catalysts for the hydrogenolysis of esters, while the fourth one focused on the hydrogenation of oxygenate compounds from bio-oil. This year's novelty was the introduction of a teaching lecture, during which all participants expanded their knowledge in the field of an analytical technique of thermally programmed desorption.
