Our world is made with chemical catalysis, to facilitate and guide efficient transformation of raw materials to useful products. A most important aspect of catalysis is selectivity: the ability to guide a reaction ‘cleanly’ to a single desired result, rather than many different products. In an ideal world, all catalysis would be economic and sustainable, selectively guiding reactions to a single result (important both for purity/safety and resource-efficiency). In reality, industrial catalysts tend to fall into two categories: reasonably selective (BUT expensive, using metals like palladium which are depleting even faster than oil), or poorly selective (BUT cheap and sustainable).
King's College London was founded by King George IV and the Duke of Wellington (then Prime Minister) in 1829 as a university college in the tradition of the Church of England. It now welcomes staff and students of all faiths and beliefs. King's professors played a major part in nineteenth-century science and in extending higher education to women and working men through evening classes. The university has grown and developed through mergers with several institutions each with their own distinguished histories. These include: United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy's an... continue reading
