The group is an integrated NTNU/SINTEF research laboratory where NTNU-staff collaborate and share facilities with researchers employed by SINTEF Industry. This collaboration was recognised by NTNU and SINTEF as a Strong-Point Centre (1998) and is formalised through the KinCat Gemini centre (NTNU/SINTEF twin research centre) since 2007. Personnel from the two organisations work closely together and participate in theoretical studies, teaching and research. The group participates extensively in international networks and has close collaboration with a number of universities and research groups inside and outside the EU. The research is funded by the Norwegian Research Council, EU, Norwegian and international industry and other sources, and spans from fundamental studies of ideal surfaces to studies of real catalysts and process development work in small pilot plants.

We have dedicated laboratories for synthesis (carbon based materials, impregnation, batteries, etc.), characterization (TPX, BET, TGA, DSC, Raman, UV-vis, FT-IR, XAFS, XES, etc.) and testing (attrition, Fischer-Tropsch, pyrolysis and biomass conversion, photocatalysis).

Additional Instruments

In K5 and Chemistry Hall D, we have multiple rigs for testing of catalysts and processes. Most of these are project specific. However, we also have a few common setups:

  • SSITKA Units
  • Adsorption Calorimeter
  • Parr High Pressure Batch Reactors
  • Microbalance
  • UV-VIS (in-situ)
  • FT-IR (ex-situ and in-situ)
  • XAFS / XANES

If there is an interest in using these, please contact the engineers.
