New iron catalyst: Energy savings in hydrogen liquefaction
Hydrogen is the energy carrier for a green future. We at C&CS GmbH are contributing to green technology and have expanded our research expertise: chemists Dr. Hans-Jürgen Eberle and Dr. Arno Tißler are now working with us on the further development and rapid market readiness of their new catalyst for the accelerated establishment of the […]
Congratulations to the 2024 Nobel laureates in Chemistry!
The scientific community celebrates this year’s Nobel laureates in Chemistry, David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John Bumper, for their groundbreaking contributions to research. These awards underline the importance of their work for the future of chemistry and science in general. David Baker, a professor at the University of Washington, is known for his work […]
All equipment is ready for use in the catalysis laboratory!
Our catalysis lab is now fully operational! A few days ago, colleagues from www.micromeritics.com visited us in Kirchheim and commissioned the AutoChem III. Dominik Kreutzer, head of the C&CS catalysis lab, then carried out his own calibration measurements and is delighted: “With the AutoChem III, we can now carry out measurements on behalf of […]
Catalysts in catalytic afterburners
The modern chemical industry is increasingly focused on environmental protection. One of the key challenges is reducing harmful emissions released during industrial processes. This is where catalytic afterburners (C&Cs) come into play, having established themselves as an efficient solution for minimizing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other pollutants. This article examines the operation, advantages, and […]
Second Managing Director at C&CS
(English Text down below) We are delighted to welcome Dr. Christian Hanser as our new Managing Director! He will now share the role with the founder of C&CS, Dr. Julius Nickl. Dr. Hanser is also a chemist and has held numerous management positions, most recently at SGS Analytics Germany GmbH in Augsburg. There, he was […]
Chemisorption and physisorption – explained briefly
These phenomena appear everywhere in catalysis and describe how gas molecules “stick” to the catalyst surface. When atoms, ions, or molecules from gases or liquids adhere to a surface, this is called adsorption (note that absorption refers to volume). More precisely, there is chemisorption, involving strong, stable chemical bonds such as CO-Pt, and physisorption, involving […]
C&CS at “IConBM2024”
At the International Conference on Biomass in Palermo (IConBM2024 (aidic.it)) on May 20, 2024, first results of a novel catalyst developed within the framework of the EU project MEMBER for Sorption Enhanced Reforming (SER) for steam reforming of tars in a simulated synthesis gas from biomass gasification were presented. The link to the presentation is […]
