Our research work focuses on the development and testing of solid, porous catalysts. The catalysts are used in existing processes or in new processes to be developed, taking into account the aspects of resource-conserving handling of fossil raw materials, minimizing by-products and using alternative input materials to replace fossil raw materials. Zeolites with microporous structures, metal-supported catalysts and ternary intermetallic compounds are mainly being investigated for this purpose.
