Logo Sclae4MatIFPEN Scienc'Innov Workshop: Innovative materials: which scale-up methodology? (Scale4MAT); Web Conference 24-25 Nov. 2020

Catalysts are central to many industrial processes and have been the focus of decades of research to improve their performance. In the future, breakthroughs will most certainly come from new ways of synthesizing these materials, with the use of new technologies which will have to be rolled out on an industrial scale, in order to make these materials available in sufficient quantities for the process industry. The transition from laboratory to industrial scale remains a major challenge, to ensure rapid transfer of research results to the market.

The Scale4MAT Web conference has been a special opportunity to discuss the new approaches to modeling unit operations required to facilitate the extrapolation of syntheses of breakthrough materials.
