About CBS:
Le département Chemical & Biochemical Sciences. Green Process Engineering (CBS) est une composante de l'Université Mohammed VI Polytechnique (UM6P). L'objectif principal de CBS est de mettre en place un programme de recherche-enseignement original, de niveau international, pour relever les défis de l'UM6P en termes de recherche et d'enseignement, en particulier en chimie et procédés verts avec un impact environnemental et durable. CBS s’intéresse à tous les aspects des sciences chimiques, biochimiques, et génie des procédés verts.
La recherche au sein de CBS est organisée autour de plusieurs domaines majeurs, qui visent à répondre à des questions industrielles pertinentes, à mettre en place des solutions adaptables au niveau nationale pour accompagner l’industrie et l’économie marocaine ainsi que son indépendance. Les projets CBS visent à comprendre en profondeur les mécanismes moléculaires de toutes les transformations pour proposer de nouvelles alternatives originales en termes d'efficacité, impact environnemental et de durabilité.
Le département CBS fonctionne sur le principe de transdisciplinarité et de partenariats nationaux et internationaux, attestés par la création de laboratoires conjoints labellisés ainsi que la co-diplomation. CBS dispose également d’un Master Recherche en Sciences Chimiques et la valorisation des phosphates.
Training description :
Heterogenous catalysts, constituted of highly dispersed active phase (metal particles) on high surface area support are one of the most important materials in heterogenous catalysis. They play a pivotal role in many important industrial catalysts ranging from fine chemical productions, and refinery to fertilizers production. Historically, the role of support is to maintain a high dispersion of the active phase without much involvement in the catalytic reaction. However, in multitude of catalytic reactions, the interaction between the support and the active phase was found to play an important role in shaping the catalytic activity and selectivity of a given active phase.
The objective of this project is to study the effect of support on the catalytic activity of bismuth in the preparation of Polyurethane. In order to assert the role of support on Bismuth catalytic activity and selectivity, different supports presenting diverse physic-chemical properties (Redox properties, acido-basic properties, surface area, …etc) will be prepared and studied. the supports studied in this work will include SiO2, meosoporous SBA-15, MgO, ZrO2 and TiO2. The catalyst will be characterized using a panoply of techniques including: XRD, FTIR, RAMAN, ATG and N2- physisorption. The activity of bismuth will be studied in photochemical chemistry applications.
