• Hydrocarbon processes were developed, characterized and optimized
through different reactors and reaction parameters using experimental
design. The consultant for this project was Dr. T. Inui of Japan. Thus, full
analysis of catalysts, reactants, products was carried using LC-MS,
HPLC, GC-MS, GC, XRF, Thermal Methods, NMR, EPR, MS, and online
GCs and HPLCs connected to different reactors. Extensive Kinetic and
Mechanistic studies were carried to understand and optimized these
processes.
