DESCRIPTION:Please register through https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/catalys
 t-technologies-for-today-and-tomorrow-tickets-16814581867\n\nThe catalytic
  converter’s story has many chapters\, from the early application of oxi
 dation catalysts in California\, through widespread application of three-w
 ay catalysts in gasoline vehicles\, and more recently the control of exhau
 st emissions from diesel vehicles which include particulate matter.\n\nIn 
 this lecture\, methods for tackling emissions from gasoline and diesel (an
 d lean burn) vehicle exhaust emissions using catalytic aftertreatment devi
 ces in production today will be presented. Also an overview of some advanc
 es in the industry\, and future requirements and challenges for tomorrow
 ’s catalysts will be given.\n\nThe lecture will address a range of catal
 yst systems\, with a detailed discussion of the particulate filter devices
  now used for removing particulate matter from vehicle exhausts. In this p
 art of the lecture some results from research at Cambridge University (Dep
 t. of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology) will be shown to demonstrate
  the use of magnetic resonance imaging to study these filter systems.\n\nI
 n the future\, the exhaust emissions aftertreatment industry faces a numbe
 r of key challenges.  Legislation will continue to tighten\, and aftertrea
 tment devices will be necessary in a host of new applications (e.g. trains
 \, marine\, and non-road mobile machinery (e.g. farm and construction).  F
 urthermore\, aftertreatment systems will be required to operate in a much 
 wider range of fuels or fuel combustion products\, such as from ethanol\, 
 methanol\, biofuels\, etc.  Therefore looking ahead the design of novel\, 
 improved\, multifunctional catalysts will become extremely important.\n\nP
