CATALYSIS

- Zeolites: NMR studies of acid catalyst for ethylbenzene conversion
- Metal (Ti) Organic Frameworks (MOF) photocatalysts; Zr-, Al-, Cr-MOF: liquid-phase catalysis for hydrolysis of phosphoester bonds, olefins epoxidation, and oxidative desulfurization of diesel fuel
- Mo oxide/organonitrogen hybrid materials: catalysts in oxidation reactions
- Cucurbiturils: catalysts for alcoholysis of epoxides, in mild conditions, giving beta-alkoxy alcohols

ADSORPTION/SEPARATION

- Nanosorbents for magnetic separation assisted water treatment
- Selective enrichment of proteins by functionalized nanoparticle’s magnetic separation
- Microporous Ti and Ln silicates: Cd, Hg, Pb and Cs exchange
- CO2 capture: study of molecular species formed at the surface of amine-functionalized mesoporous silicas

PHARMACEUTICALS
