These dynamic phenomena reflect a complex coupled relationship between the energetics, the transport, and the chemistry at the interface. We are concentrating on olefin polymerization, environmental catalysis, and deactivating catalyst systems. Our approach is to study the interactions and reactions in situ and, thereby, to understand the surface chemistry and dynamics leading to reaction and catalysis. Selective Recycle of VOCs Volatile Organic Carbons, VOCs, represent the major pollutants in the materials and petrochemical industries. To these ends, we are developing the use of microwave energy to modify and control the sorption processes.
Microwave radiation has considerable potential in sorption and decomposition of VOCs.
