QID to develop new catalyst for ClO3 (Chlorate) reduction
Monday, 04 October 2010 21:51
QID starts a new line of research to develop a family of nanostructured catalyst to maximize performance of Chlorate Oxidation reactions and substitute Platinum and Rhodium.
The new catalysts will be focused on obtaining higher yields and lower costs. "The new generation of catalysts for ClO3 reduction is a strong challenge, but results are expected in a short time. Our scientists are using our technology to design the new catalysts, given the reactivity requirements." commented Stefano Gallucci, CEO of QID. The new family of catalysts is developed in cooperation with a non disclosed industrial partner.
QID
QID is a nanotechnology company offering new catalyst to replace rare and expensive materials as Platinum and Rhodium broadly used in many industries and clean technologies.
QID addresses the market of catalysts and the chemical industry that processes them. Examples include automotive, environment, pollution control, oil refinement, and hydrogen production and fuel cell technology (cleantech). These markets offer a limitless and very rich opportunity for expansion.
Our added value is a general approach that allows to design the result to a specific reaction, knowing from the beginning what to do, what materials are involved, how to assemble them. This is an enormous advantage over competition because it gives QID the ability to fast develop new catalysts with low R&D activity.
QID is a private company with headquarters in Vicenza and labs in Trieste (Italy) at the Elettra Synchrotron, Padova (Italy) at the Veneto Nanotech facilities and Strasbourg (France). The management of the company has been working and studying catalysis for more than 20 years, leading the nanotechnology research and development at major International Research Institutions and large chemical companies and are experts in synchrotron light and chemical synthesis.
