Multiscale Computational Materials Design - Ultra-Dispersed catalysts for in-situ upgrading - CIAM

该提案侧重于与重油就地改质有关的重要能源、环境和经济问题（见http：//www.iseee.ca/）。合作者之一Pedro佩雷拉是卡尔加里大学阿尔伯塔原位催化研究中心AICISE的主任（见http：//www.aicise.ca/）。AICISE的主要研究主题之一是“重油原位改质的催化剂和吸附剂”。AICISE的这一研究主题调查了催化剂和吸附剂的使用，以实现原位升级的总体目标。 该综合项目的目标是研究“将催化剂输送到在提高石油采收率（EOR）方法下开采的沥青和重油储层中的设计和方法，包括催化剂合成、表征、反应性测试筛选、稳定性和在原位可生产条件下的可回收性”。

The proposal focuses on important energy, environment and economy issues (see http://www.iseee.ca/) related to the in situ upgrading of heavy oils. One Collaborator, Pedro Pereira, is the Director of AICISE, the Alberta Ingenuity Center for In-Situ Catalysis at the University of Calgary (see http://www.aicise.ca/). One of the main research themes of AICISE is "Catalysts and adsorbents for In situ upgrading of heavy oils". This research theme within AICISE investigates the use of catalysts and adsorbents for the overall objective of performing In situ Upgrading. This integrated project targets research on "Design and methods for delivering catalysts into the bitumen and heavy oil reservoirs exploited under enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods, including catalyst synthesis, characterization, screening for reactivity tests, stability and recyclability of them under conditions producible in situ"
