Catalysis is a core area of science that lies at the heart of the chemicals industry - an immensely successful and important part of the overall UK economy, where in recent years the UK output has totalled over £50B annually and is ranked 7th in the world. This position is being maintained in the face of immense competition worldwide. For the UK to sustain its leading position it is essential that innovation in research is maintained, to achieve which the UK Catalysis Hub was established in 2013; and has succeeded over the last four years in bringing together over 40 university groups for innovative and collaborative research programmes in this key area of contemporary science. The success of the Hub can be attributed to its inclusive and open ethos which has resulted in many groups joining its network since its foundation in 2013; to its strong emphasis on collaboration; and to its physical hub on the Harwell campus in close proximity to the Diamond synchrotron, ISIS neutron source and Central Laser Facility, whose successful exploitation for catalytic science has been a major feature of the recent science of the Hub.The next phase of the Catalysis Hub will build on this success and while retaining the key features and structure of the current hub will extend its programmes both nationally and internationally. The future hub structure will comprise a core programme which will coordinate the scientific themes of the Hub, which in the initial stages of the next phase will comprise:- Optimising, predicting and designing new catalysts - - Catalysis at the water - energy nexus- Catalysis for the Circular Economy and Sustainable Manufacturing- Biocatalysis and bio-transformations.The present project concerns the second of these themes whose overall aim is to develop catalytic processes and technology to address the issues of clean water, more efficient utilisation/valorisation of water systems and the use of water as a reaction medium or reagent. This theme significantly expands on research from the energy and environmental themes of phase 1 of the UK Catalysis Hub as well as opening up new avenues of research and the incorporation of life cycle analysis and simulation science as strands running through the rest of the experimental programme. The theme will comprise the following main work packages: - Treatment of High Ionic Strength Waste Water;- Catalytic treatment to reduce biofouling of membranes;- Energy-efficient catalytic advanced oxidation processes for water and wastewater treatment;- Catalytic transformations in and with water;- Energy and fuels from waste water;- Life cycle sustainability assessment;- Modelling.The project will interact strongly with the other hub science projects. The Hub structure is intrinsically multidisciplinary including extensive input from engineering as well as science disciplines and with strong interaction and cross-fertilisation between the different themes. The thematic structure will allow then Hub to cover the major areas of current catalytic science

催化是科学的核心领域，位于化学工业的核心——化学工业是英国整体经济中非常成功且重要的一部分，近年来英国的总产值每年总计超过 50B 英镑，在全球经济中排名第七。面对全球激烈的竞争，英国要维持其领先地位，就必须保持研究创新，为此，英国催化中心于 2013 年成立，并取得了成功。过去四年带来该中心的成功归功于其包容性和开放的精神，自 2013 年成立以来，吸引了许多团体加入其网络；其对合作的高度重视；以及其位于哈韦尔园区的物理中心，靠近钻石同步加速器、ISIS 中子源和中央激光设施，其对催化科学的成功开发已成为近期科学的一个主要特征。催化中心的下一阶段将以这一成功为基础，在保留当前中心的主要特征和结构的同时，将在国内和国际范围内扩展其项目。未来的中心结构将包括一个协调科学的核心项目。该中心的主题，在下一阶段的初始阶段将包括：- 优化、预测和设计新催化剂 - - 水-能源关系的催化 - 循环经济和可持续制造的催化 - 生物催化和生物转化。本项目涉及第二个主题，其总体目标是开发催化工艺和技术，以解决清洁水、更有效地利用/水系统的增值以及使用水作为反应介质或试剂的问题该主题显着扩展了英国催化中心第一阶段能源和环境主题的研究，并开辟了新的研究途径，并将生命周期分析和模拟科学作为贯穿其余部分的主线。该主题将包括以下主要工作包： - 高离子强度废水的处理； - 减少膜生物污染的催化处理； - 用于水和废水处理的节能催化高级氧化工艺； - 水和废水处理中的催化转化。水；- 废水中的能源和燃料；- 生命周期可持续性评估；- 建模。该项目将与其他中心科学项目密切互动，该中心结构本质上是多学科的，包括来自工程的广泛投入。作为科学学科，不同主题之间具有很强的互动和交叉作用，主题结构将使中心能够涵盖当前催化科学的主要领域。
