Topic Abstract

For the next AIChE-NM activity, we'll have quite an exciting technical presentation from one of our very own members, Mr. Patrick Burton (also a graduate student at UNM).  Mr. Burton's research at UNM is being supported by the US Department of Energy and Sandia National Labs.  He recently presented at the National AIChE Conference in Salt Lake City.

Collegiate Member, Mr. Patrick Burton, will present the results of the synthesis of colloidal monodisperse Palladium (Pd) nanoparticles supported on aluminum oxide (Al2O3) that retain their size distribution and exhibit remarkable thermal stability after becoming catalytically active for carbon monoxide oxidation. This synthesis provides a method for preparing well-defined catalysts that can provide improved activity and selectivity.!
