From green synthesis to trapping and sequestration of pollutants: an integrated approach

The present thematic axis combines molecular and macromolecular chemistry on the one hand, and physical chemistry, on the other hand. It will address various studies:

• The discovery and the development of original synthetic processes fulfilling the requirements of sustainable chemistry
• The recycling of catalysts and the trapping/sequestration of unavoidable hazardous by-products (organic, metallorganic pollutants, gas)
• The in situ, real time physicochemical/structural study of catalysts and trapping materials. This question will be addressed by an intensive use of French and European large-scale facilities, like neutron and synchrotron x-ray sources.
