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

该建议侧重于与重油就地升级有关的重要能源、环境和经济问题（见http://www.iseee.ca/）。其中一位合作者Pedro Pereira是卡尔加里大学阿尔伯塔原位催化独创性中心AICISE的主任（见http://www.aicise.ca/）。AICISE的主要研究课题之一是“重油原位升级的催化剂和吸附剂”。AICISE的研究主题是研究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“采用提高采收率（EOR）方法将催化剂输送到沥青和稠油油藏的设计和方法，包括催化剂合成、表征、反应性测试筛选、催化剂在现场可生产条件下的稳定性和可回收性”。

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"
