Catalysis is a core area of science that lies at the heart of the chemicals industry - an immensely successful and important part of the overall UK economy, where in recent years the UK output has totalled over £50B annually and is ranked 7th in the world. This position is being maintained in the face of immense competition worldwide. For the UK to sustain its leading position it is essential that innovation in research is maintained, to achieve which the UK Catalysis Hub was established in 2013; and has succeeded over the last four years in bringing together over 40 university groups for innovative and collaborative research programmes in this key area of contemporary science. The success of the Hub can be attributed to its inclusive and open ethos which has resulted in many groups joining its network since its foundation in 2013; to its strong emphasis on collaboration; and to its physical hub on the Harwell campus in close proximity to the Diamond synchrotron, ISIS neutron source and Central Laser Facility, whose successful exploitation for catalytic science has been a major feature of the recent science of the Hub.The next phase of the Catalysis Hub will build on this success and while retaining the key features and structure of the current hub will extend its programmes both nationally and internationally. The future hub structure will comprise a core programme which will coordinate the scientific themes of the Hub, which in the initial stages of the next phase will comprise:- Optimising, predicting and designing new catalysts - - Catalysis at the water - energy nexus- Catalysis for the Circular Economy and Sustainable Manufacturing- Biocatalysis and bio-transformations.The present project concerns the second of these themes whose overall aim is to develop catalytic processes and technology to address the issues of clean water, more efficient utilisation/valorisation of water systems and the use of water as a reaction medium or reagent. This theme significantly expands on research from the energy and environmental themes of phase 1 of the UK Catalysis Hub as well as opening up new avenues of research and the incorporation of life cycle analysis and simulation science as strands running through the rest of the experimental programme. The theme will comprise the following main work packages: - Treatment of High Ionic Strength Waste Water;- Catalytic treatment to reduce biofouling of membranes;- Energy-efficient catalytic advanced oxidation processes for water and wastewater treatment;- Catalytic transformations in and with water;- Energy and fuels from waste water;- Life cycle sustainability assessment;- Modelling.The project will interact strongly with the other hub science projects. The Hub structure is intrinsically multidisciplinary including extensive input from engineering as well as science disciplines and with strong interaction and cross-fertilisation between the different themes. The thematic structure will allow then Hub to cover the major areas of current catalytic science

催化是科学的核心领域，位于化学工业的核心，是英国整体经济中极其成功和重要的组成部分，近年来，英国的总产量每年超过50B GB，在世界上排名第七。面对世界范围内的激烈竞争，这一地位得以保持。英国要保持其领先地位，就必须保持研究创新，以实现2013年成立的英国催化中心；在过去四年中，该中心成功地将40多个大学团体聚集在一起，在这一当代科学的关键领域开展创新和合作研究计划。中心的成功可以归功于其包容和开放的精神，这导致自2013年成立以来许多团体加入了其网络；由于其对合作的高度重视；以及其位于哈威尔校区的物理中心，该中心靠近钻石同步加速器、ISIS中子源和中央激光设施，其成功地利用催化科学是中心最近科学的一大特点。催化中心的下一阶段将在这一成功的基础上再接再厉，同时保留目前中心的主要特征和结构，将在国内和国际范围内扩展其方案。未来的中心结构将包括一个核心方案，该方案将协调中心的科学主题，在下一阶段的初始阶段将包括：-优化、预测和设计新的催化剂--水-能源联系的催化--循环经济和可持续制造的催化--生物催化和生物转化。目前的项目涉及这些主题中的第二个，其总体目标是开发催化过程和技术，以解决清洁水、更有效地利用/评价水系统以及使用水作为反应介质或试剂的问题。这一主题大大扩展了英国催化中心第一阶段的能源和环境主题的研究，开辟了新的研究途径，并将生命周期分析和模拟科学作为贯穿实验方案其余部分的线索纳入其中。该主题将包括以下主要工作包：-高离子强度废水的处理；-减少膜生物污染的催化处理；-用于水和废水处理的高能效催化高级氧化工艺；-水中和水中的催化转化；-来自废水的能源和燃料；-生命周期可持续性评估；-建模。该项目将与其他中心科学项目密切互动。该中心的结构本质上是多学科的，包括来自工程和科学学科的广泛投入，以及不同主题之间的强烈互动和交叉影响。主题结构将使中心能够涵盖当前催化科学的主要领域
