US-Hungary Joint Fund Research on Selective Bimetallic Hydrogenation Catalysts

这个美国和匈牙利研究项目的主要目标 同位素研究所的Laszlo Guczi博士， 布达佩斯，莱斯大学的乔·海托华博士 研究选择性的动力学和机制， 乙烯中乙炔和丁二烯中丁二烯加氢 Pd基催化剂上的正丁烯。 研究人员希望 了解更多关于活性位点的性质， 催化剂，哪些因素影响选择性， 为什么催化剂会失活，以及如何使它们变得更 活跃 该项目的资金通过美国- 匈牙利联合基金，布达佩斯，根据 既定的指导方针。

The primary objective of this US-Hungary research project between Dr. Laszlo Guczi of the Institute of Isotopes, Budapest, and Dr. Joe Hightower of Rice University is to examine the kinetics and mechanism of selective hydrogenation of acetylene in ethylene and butadiene in n-butenes over Pd-based catalysts. The researchers hope to learn more about the nature of active sites of a bimetallic catalyst, what factors affect the selectivity, why the catalysts deactivate, and how to make them more active. Funds for the project are awarded through the US- Hungary Joint Fund, Budapest, in accordance with established guidelines.
