    Getting ready for Gold 2009

    Here at Project AuTEK we are gearing up for Gold 2009. We are particularly excited regarding the oral talks, the full list of which may be downloaded at www.gold2009.org. In particular a talk by Dr Gabriel Veith entitled ‘Hydroxyl mediated activity and stability of supported gold catalysts’ sounds interesting. In previous papers and posters Dr Veith has used the PVD catalyst preparation technique to unravel the importance of hydroxyl groups in gold catalyst preparation. These species are required for stable gold CO oxidation catalysts whether prepared by deposition precipitation or PVD.

    Also at the conference we invite all attendees to come and pay us a visit on the AuTEK stand to view our services and technologies in the Catalysis, Bio-Medical and Nanotechnology fields.
