Internship T&I Chemistry and Catalysis

The Challenge Investigation towards new catalysts for polyolefin preparation. In the research group “Advanced Catalysis” of the department Technology And Innovation of SABIC Europe in Geleen, we are continuously looking for enthousiastic HBO trainees with affinity for the challenging interplay of groundbreaking chemistry and its possible application in current or future processes of SABIC. The “Advanced Catalysis Group” monitors the new developments in the area of catalysts for the polyethylene and polypropylene preparation. Besides this, we are also exploring the fundamental processes that take place when using these catalysts. The organic-preparative trainee period will involve the synthesis and testing of new catalysts for the polyethylene and polypropylene preparation. These catalysts consist of a metal centre which can contain a diversity of ligands. The synthesis often involves the interesting combination of inorganic, organic and organometallic synthesis. The prepared catalysts have to be characterized using a multitude of analytical techniques, which in general is performed at the analytical departments of our analytical partners at DSM-Resolve. Testing of the catalysts is performed in collaboration with the SABIC technicians who actually run the high-pressure polymerisation equipment. Whenever possible, we use computational modeling for studying the relation between catalyst structure and its performance in the polymerisation of ethylene and propylene. Additionally, the polymers have to be characterized by GPC, IR and NMR, which again will be performed at the analytical labs of DSM-Resolve. Further Information As you can see, this is a challenging internship, which involves a training in a very broad area, covering (in)organic synthesis, computational modeling, catalyst kinetics and polymer chemistry. The period of the internship is at least 4 months, starting second part of 2011. For further information, please contact: Nic.
