专家简介：Prof. Anders Holmen

Anders Holmen is professor emeritus of Chemical Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology(NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway andis the member of Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences (NTVA).He worked as a research scientist and a group leader at SINTEF, Applied Chemistry before he joined the Faculty of Chemical Technology, Norwegian Institute of Technology in 1981. He has been a visiting scientist/professor at Stanford University, USA, the Institute de Recherché surla Catalyse in Villeurbanne, France, the University of Bologna, Italy and the Research Centers of Norsk Hydro, Porsgrunn and Statoil, Trondheim. He received Statoil’s Research Price in 1994 and the Award for Excellence in Natural Gas Conversion in Lyon in 2010. He has been the main supervisor for 50 Ph.D. students.

Professor Holmen is recognized for his achievements in advancing concepts and practical applications of direct and indirect routes for the efficient utilization of natural gas. He has contributed fundamental concepts for the conversion of methane to acetylene inhigh-temperature short-contact time reactors. His research group has developed and used methods for measuring the dynamics of carbon formation during methane reactions at conditions relevant to industrial practice, and for the elucidation of the kinetics and mechanism of partial oxidation of lightalkanes.

Throughout his career, Holmen has contributed to the understanding and practice of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, specifically by unravelling the complex effects of water on reaction rate and selectivity and the role of Co crystallite size and of supports on catalyst reactivity and stability.
