Trickle bed reactors offer a viable alternative to batch manufacture, however further understanding of the interplay between hydrogen mass transfer and catalytic reaction is required to facilitate the uptake of such technologies. Our recently published paper, see below, outlines how we isolate these transport processes. The hydrogenation of styrene was conducted with a single 1% […]

At the 2019 University of Leeds ‘Be Curious’ outreach event, we demonstrated the effect of metal coating and alloying has on the appearance of copper coins. Copper coins were coated in a thin layer of zinc, then heated to combine the zinc and copper to make brass giving the coins a golden appearance.
