About MULTI2HYCAT
This Research & Development project is funded by EU in the Horizon 2020 programme and coordinated by the University of Piemonte Orientale “Amedeo Avogadro”.
Main objectives
Development of new catalysts in application fields of pharmaceutical and intermediate chemistry applications
Features of new developed catalysts:
- Consists of a new class of hierarchically-porous organic-inorganic hybrid materials
- First time solvation of limitation of current organo-siliceous solids
- Multistep asymmetric reactions catalysis
- Predominantly high conversion rates (>90%) and high selectivity (>80%)
Development steps for each catalyst:
- Design; Proof of concept (2g of catalyst); Upscale; Industrial Validation
- Final step in project: pre-pilot reactor for catalyst production (20-50g of catalyst)
Direct benefits
improve flexibility and versatility of obtained catalysts
cost reduction of obtained catalysts
Indirect benefits
Innovation and Advance of Knowledge
Global markets & competitiveness
Environment and resource efficiency
