Catalysis, Chemical Kinetics, Chemical Reactors, Mathematical Modelling, Polymers

Dr. Lynch's general area of research over the last decade has been concerned with heterogeneous catalysis and reactor design (Chemical Reaction Engineering). In particular, work has been carried out in three main areas: (1) use of supported metal catalysts (mainly platinum and palladium) to eliminate the oxides of nitrogen and carbon monoxide formed during combustion processes (the main application is in the reduction of pollutants from automobile exhaust); (2) production of polyethylene with Ziegler-Natta type catalysts using both slurry and gas-phase processes at conditions similar to those used industrially; and, (3) development of improved techniques for characterizing the behavior (kinetics, mixing, transport processes, etc.) of chemical and catalytic reactors with the associated development of detailed mathematical models of the physical and chemical processes which occur in these reactors.
