Our project deals with the investigation of a new class of catalysts for processing coal liquids. The catalysts are supported carbides and nitrides of transitio

Coal is more abundant than petroleum and natural gas. Further, coal is not localized but can be used by many more countries than petroleum. Therefore, if we can

The main objective of this project was to study transition metal carbides and nitrides as catalysts for hydroprocessing. In particular, the goals were to study
