DIY projects for catalysis
“Crafting is an art,” says Dr. Nickl, founder of C&CS. “And for me, tinkering has positive connotations. You can set up catalysis experiments, optimize analytical instruments, invent apparatus, repair many things, and simply help yourself. And it’s fun!” C&CS places great value on the tinkering skills of its employees and operates workshops for mechanics and electronics. Also […]
Promotion Dominik Kreutzer
Our Dominik has a doctorate! Our Dominik Kreutzer completed his academic career in Regensburg under Prof. Dr. J. Rehbein. His doctorate focused, among other things, on the mechanistic elucidation of Pd catalysis on cyclopropanes. The founder and managing director of C&CS, Dr. Nickl, is delighted: "Dominik built the catalysis laboratory from scratch, with gas supplies, furnaces & reactors, and [...]
All equipment ready for use in the catalysis laboratory!
Our catalysis laboratory is now fully operational! A few days ago, colleagues from www.micromeritics.com visited us in Kirchheim and put the AutoChem III into operation. C&CS Kat-Lab manager Dominik Kreutzer then carried out his own calibration measurements and is delighted: "With the AutoChem III, we can now carry out measurements on behalf of customers in order to, among other things, [...]
Catalysts in catalytic afterburning plants
The modern chemical industry is paying more and more attention to environmental protection. One of the key challenges is the reduction of harmful emissions released during industrial processes. This is where catalytic oxidizers (CAOs) come into play, which have been established as an efficient solution for minimizing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other pollutants. This article highlights the functionality, advantages […]
Takeover of catalysis laboratory
The sister company GWP mbH has been running a gas laboratory for 30 years, which should better be called the Catalysis & Emissions Laboratory. The mixed oxides that later found their way into nitrogen oxide reduction in trucks and cars, now known as AdBlue, were created here as contract research. Or a pilot plant including an absorbent was developed to clean food CO2 from the toxic COS. […]
