One of the challenges faced by catalysts is their sensitivity to sulphur compounds during oxidative catalysis. In order to actively address this, a project was developed together with the scientific partners DI Dr Christian Weiß (Chair of Process Engineering for Industrial Environmental Protection at the University of Leoben), Prof Dr Volker Kahlenberg (Institute of Mineralogy and Petrography at the University of Innsbruck) and DI Dr Roland Nilica, Head of Research & Development at Ceram Austria GmbH. Submitted to the Austrian Research Promotion Agency as part of a BRIDGE call for proposals, the funding approval was received in July of the same year.
The 3-year project has a total budget of around €750,000. Novel catalyst materials are being developed, characterised and tested as part of the project.
