3rd European Workshop on Spent Catalysts

Satellite Event

In 1999 and 2002 two well attended workshops on recycling, regeneration, reuse and disposal of spent catalysts took place in Frankfurt. This series will be continued in conjunction with this congress in Berlin. The workshop will be organized in collaboration with DGMK, the German Society for Petroleum and Coal Science and Technology.
