“It has been said
that man is a rational animal. All my life I have been searching for evidence which
could support this.” -- Bertrand Russell (English Logician and
Philosopher 1872-1970)
Rational
catalyst design is a hot topic in the scientific community. By eliminating the traditional trial and
error approach, rational
catalyst design has the potential to speed up the discovery of new materials
with tailored properties.
Accordingly, the 2014 AIChE Annual Meeting (http://www.aiche.org/conferences/aiche-annual-meeting/2014),
to be held in Atlanta on November 16-21, 2014, will include a session devoted
to this topic. Here is the description
from the meeting’s Web …

651 Rational Catalyst Design I, Thursday, November 20,
2014: 8:30 AM
The identification of relevant descriptors, screening methods, and the
development of structure-property relationships are just a few examples that
illustrate the rational design approach. This session welcomes contributions
that describe experimental or theoretical methods that aim to enable the rational
design catalytic materials with improved activity, selectivity, stability, or
poison resistance.
