SINCHEM Erasmus Mundus PhD Program 1st SINCHEM Annual School February, 17th - 19th , 2014. University of Bologna Dept. of Industrial Chemistry "Toso Montanari" Viale Risorgimento, 4 – Bologna (I) SINCHEM Consortium will hold the 1° SINCHEM School on Sustainable Industrial Chemistry at Bologna University (Department of Industrial Chemistry “Toso Montanari”). The school aims to give the participants an introduction to some fundamental concepts on Sustainable Industrial Chemistry with a special focus on catalytic processes. The SINCHEM winter school is free of charge. Nevertheless the participants are requested to register, sending an e-mail to [email protected] indicating name, affiliation and e-mail address. 1 Programme Monday, February 17th – Aula 9 Official Opening of the SINCHEM Academic year 9.30 Welcome address: • Director of the PhD Programme in Chemistry – Prof. Aldo Roda • Head of Department of Industrial Chemistry "Toso Montanari" – Prof. Angelo Vaccari 10.00 SINCHEM PhD student’s presentation (15 min each) • Yu Zhang - Catalytic upgrading of oxygenated building blocks in lignocellulose-based biorefineries. • Marepally Bhanu Chandra - Production of Solar Fuels using CO2 • Streng Emilia Sofia - Maximizing the Chemical value of CO2 from Carbon Capture • Giuliana Rubulotta - Novel hybrid materials for biobased routes to industrially relevant aliphatic alkanes. 11:00 – 11.30 Coffee break 11.30-13:00 SINCHEM PhD student’s presentation (15 min each) : • Gyngazova Maria - Multiphase reaction systems for the efficient valorization of Biomass • Asja Pettignano - Pre-industrialization study of heterogeneous polysaccharide-based organocatalysts for fine chemistry • Andana Tahrizi - Simultaneous soot and NOx abatement in light-duty diesel engine vehicle applications • Vozniuk Olena - The chemical-loop approach in bio-alcohols reforming. • Atif Emre Demet - Biomass valorization for production of fuel additives. 2 Tuesday, February 18th, 2014 – Aula 5 9:30 – 11.00 Catalysis for a sustainable environment (Nunzio Russo - Politecnico Torino) 11:00 – 11.30 Coffee break 11:30 – 13.00 Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) (Fabrizio Passarini – Bologna University) 13:00-14:30 Lunch 14.30 – 16.00 Introduction to CO2 recycling into fuels and chemicals (Alessandra Quadrelli University of Lyon) 16:00 - 16:30 Coffee break 16:30– 18.00 Advanced materials for catalysis (Francesco di Renzo – Ecole Nationale Superieure de Chimie de Montpellier).
