Heterogeneous Catalysis in Selective Organic Synthesis


The main objective of the research group is the application of catalysis to sustainable processes, especially easily separable, recoverable and reusable catalysts, both solid (heterogeneous catalysis) and biphasic. Among those sustainable processes, some of the most interesting are those related to bioeconomy, through the transformation of renewable raw materials into high added value products, and circular economy, through the use of industrial waste with the same objective.
