| Description | The project has now been completed and the publications and outcomes have been uploaded |
| Exploitation Route | We have determined the suitable reactors for use of gold catalysts and these have been communicated in our publications |
| Sectors | Chemicals |
| URL | http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/cci/ |
| Description | We are evaluating new reactors for gold catalysts and we are having discussions with a number of companies on potential applications. These have involved companies in the UK for water purification and internationally for chemical manufacture. |
| First Year Of Impact | 2016 |
| Sector | Chemicals |
| Impact Types | Societal |
| Description | Minimata Convention enabled to become International Law. The discovery of a gold catalyst as a drop in replacement for a highly polluting mercury catalyst enabled the Minimata Convention to become international law in May 2017. This bans the use of mercury in any application. |
| Geographic Reach | Multiple continents/international |
| Policy Influence Type | Implementation circular/rapid advice/letter to e.g. Ministry of Health |
