At the Jeallot's Hill International Research Centre, Syngenta are interested in understanding heterogeneous catalytic processes for the large-scale production of agri-chemical intermediates. One transformation of interest involves the application of heterogeneous catalysis to selectively hydrogenate aromatic cyanohydrin molecules to primary amines.A recently completed Ph.D. project concentrating on the kinetics and hydrodynamics of this process has enabled a catalyst specification to be defined that supports high amine selectivity and extended catalyst lifetimes. A follow-on Ph.D. project is available for commencement in October 2015 that represents a further collaboration between Syngenta and the University of Glasgow. The new project will build on the previous work by developing a mechanistic understanding of the principal surface-mediated processes responsible for high amine yields. The majority of the work will be performed in modern laboratories housed within the School of Chemistry at the University of Glasgow. In addition, each year, the student will be expected to spend a 1-3 week placement at the Company's research centre (Jeallot's Hill).

在杰洛的希尔国际研究中心，先正达对大规模生产农用化学品中间体的多相催化工艺感兴趣。一个令人感兴趣的转变涉及多相催化的应用，以选择性地将芳香族氰醇分子氢化为伯胺。最近完成的一个博士项目专注于这一过程的动力学和流体力学，使得能够定义支持高胺选择性和延长催化剂寿命的催化剂规格。后续的博士项目将于2015年10月启动，这代表着先正达与格拉斯哥大学之间的进一步合作。新项目将建立在以前工作的基础上，通过发展对导致高胺产量的主要表面中介过程的机械理解。大部分工作将在格拉斯哥大学化学学院内的现代实验室进行。此外，每年，学生将在公司的研究中心(杰洛特山)度过1-3周的实习时间。
