The subject of his lecture intended for high school students and the general public: Chemical acceleration: the key to green chemistry and alternative energy
Every year a meeting is held at the Davidson Institute which includes a lecture in memory of Prof. Amos de Shalit.
The lecture is intended for high school students and the general public, and is delivered by senior researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science in a popular and accessible language.
This year there will be a lecture by Prof. David Milstein - winner of the Israel Prize in the field of chemistry and physics research for 2012. The subject of the lecture - chemical acceleration: the key to green chemistry and alternative energy
Lecturer: Prof. David Milstein
Department of Organic Chemistry, Faculty of Chemistry, Weizmann Institute of Science.
The lecture will be held on Monday, Tuesday, 14.1.2013 at 11:00 in the Weeks Hall, Weizmann Institute of Science
In addition, will be broadcast live on this page.
Catalysis, which is the speeding up of chemical processes using minute amounts of materials that themselves do not degrade (catalysts), is a very important component in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry.
In recent years, the ability to design innovative catalysts has developed that enable "green" processes (that do not produce waste), and even open up new options for alternative energy. This research topic led to the development of innovative and environmentally friendly processes.
