The Group of Heterogeneous Catalysis integrated in the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Universitat of València focuses its activity on the study of alternative catalytic reactions to those currently developed at industrial level and the design of new catalysts that are efficient in different industrial processes. Thus, it studies those catalytic processes in which the aim is:
to revalorise starting materials of low economic value or
to eliminate toxic and polluting compounds through their transformation. The different fields of research in which the group is working are shown below. The group works specifically in:
Elimination of toxic and polluting compounds,
Total oxidation of volatile organic compounds.
Elimination of CO by oxidation to CO2.
Processes of interest in the petrochemical industry:
Selective oxidation of hydrocarbons into high value-added compounds.
Dehydrogenation of saturated hydrocarbons.
Processes of interest in the refining industry:
Catalytic cracking and hydrocracking reactions.
Solid catalyst alkylation.
Disproportionation of aromatics.
Processes for obtaining and using hydrogen:

- Desarrollo de procesos cataliticos aplicables a la industria
- Sintesis de catalizadores activos, selectivos y estables
- Diseño de reactores cataliticos alternativos.
- Environmental catalysis.In this line, the elimination of polluting compounds, mainly volatile organic ones and carbon monoxide, is studied using catalysts that can work at the lowest possible temperatures with high catalytic activity.
- Catalysis: petroleum and natural gas.In this line, the aim is to: Improve the quality of motor fuels, by means of different processes (cracking, alkylation, isomerisation...). Obtaining high added value products from petroleum/natural gas and its derivatives.
