The research activities of DOT are focused on technological development of utilization of renewables by selectively catalyzed green processes (e.g. glycerol to diols, ethers, ketalethers, carbonate, or chosen carboxylic acids, natural polyols to diols, etc.), and on challenging catalyzed one step transformations
of commodity compounds to valuable specialties (e.g. methane to methanol or formaldehyde, propene to methyloxirane, cyc lohexane to cyclohexanone, etc.).
of commodity compounds to valuable specialties (e.g. methane to methanol or formaldehyde, propene to methyloxirane, cyc lohexane to cyclohexanone, etc.).
Besides the mentioned scientific topics, DOT solves technological and scientific problems of industry and SME (e.g. topic of industrial antioxidants, vulcanization accelerators, PET recycling, and etching agents for marking cars, etc.)
