PROFESSOR DR. SUGENG TRIWAHYONO CHAIRPERSON OF iCAT2016

Assalamualaikum and Salam Sejahtera

It is my great pleasure and honour to welcome all participants and delegates to the

International Conference on Catalysis (iCAT2016). As the organizer for this year’s

iCAT, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia is honored to host this event that encourages

the involvement of various organizations, especially those related to research,

teaching and learning. My gratitude goes to Academy of Sciences Malaysia as a co-

organizer of this iCAT. And my deepest appreciation goes to all guests, plenary and

keynote speakers for their commitment to participate in this conference and

sharing the experiences and expertise in their respective fields with all the

participants, especially the young researchers. I hope that everyone will take this

opportunity to interact, change of ideas and initiate the fruitful collaboration, linkages and networking in

areas related to the development of catalyst. In this year conference, we manage to attract more than 100

scientists from several countries. This is a great achievement for these two days conference.

This conference will act as a platform for academicians, scientists, researchers and students in the field of

catalysis to showcase recent research findings involving catalyst research, to exchange ideas and

knowledge on the latest development and advancement employed in catalysis research, and to encourage

the development of professional and social networking amongst the participants. The theme of the

iCAT2016 “Frontiers, Challenges and Opportunities in Catalysis” is highly significant to indicate the role of

catalyst research as the avenue for the advanced scientific discoveries which can be translated into the

innovative technology for the betterment of our society.

We are delighted in organizing this conference that allows multidisciplinary individuals to interact and

share their knowledge even for a short period of time. We would also like to commend the effort of Faculty

of Science, UTM for facilitating this congregation of brilliant minds. We hope that this year’s iCAT will

produce both positive environmental and economical benefits for all of us. I also wish to express our

deepest sincere gratitude and appreciation to UTM, Academy of Sciences Malaysia and all our contributors

from private company for the financial support in making the conference a reality. I would like to

congratulate all the organizing committee for the superb effort to come up with this successful and

meaningful international conference. Without this cooperation and collaborating teamwork, this

conference will not be realized.

Once again, on behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to welcome all delegates and participants to Johor Bahru, the beautiful capital of Johor in the southern part of Malaysia. It is the intention of the organizing committee to make this conference most enjoyable, comfortable and memorable event. PROFESSOR DR. SUGENG TRIWAHYONO

FOREWORD PROFESSOR DR. NORSARAHAIDA SAIDINA AMIN

DEAN, FACULTY OF SCIENCE UTM


I am pleased to welcome all participants to the iCAT2016, organized by the Faculty

of Science, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. This conference provides a platform for

catalyst researchers to interact and form collaborations with researchers in other

fields of catalyst development and processes. It is with high hope that this meeting

of scientific minds will be fruitful, leading to the formation of efficient and strong

national, regional and international networks.

I hoped that the primary aim of this conference to develop fundamental

understanding and application of key aspects of catalytic science, especially

relating to, catalyst preparation and production, the determination of atomic-architectures of active,

reactive and de-activated catalysts, modelling of the active site - knowledge and possible application in

industry which is essential for the design of new catalysts can be achieved in the near future. With UTM’s

research strength and innovation, the conference will act as a catalyst in the efforts to establish the links

between recent advancements in the science knowledge field and the business industries. Such outcome

could create value and opportunities for researchers and their products in benefitting Malaysia’s research

agenda. I have always believed that a technologically literate scientific community with high awareness

towards the importance of the advancement of knowledge and skills related to catalyst is essential for high

value added enterprises critical to ensure the sustainability in the quality of life with safer, cleaner and

healthier environment.

The theme of this conference “Frontiers, Challenges and Opportunities in Catalysis” signifies the importance

of catalyst research in bringing science and technology to the forefront of industrial processes. It is hoped

that this conference will bring together researchers and scholars from different fields of catalysis sciences

to share their views and experiences and thus enriching the knowledge and quality of catalyst research.

The invaluable exchange of ideas and the forging of networks between participants during conferences like

this may not be possible if not for the Government and Private Sector fundings of Research Grants. Thus, I

hope that more research grants can be secured as a catalyst of this conference.

FOREWORD

Y.B. PROFESSOR DATUK IR. DR. WAHID OMAR

UTM VICE CHANCELLOR


First and foremost I would like to take the opportunity to extend my warm welcome

to all the speakers and participants attending the International Conference on

Catalysis (iCAT2016), organized by Faculty of Science, UTM. I strongly feel that this

conference provides the right avenue for researchers, academic community and

students in the region to share insights and exchange views on the findings of their

work and new discoveries in various aspects of science and technology of the

catalyst development. This is especially important for Malaysia as research and

development is essential to highlight and uphold the status of a developed country

with many industries using catalyst.

Intensifying research, development and commercialization is now the focus of Malaysia as it strives

towards becoming a developed nation. The rapidly growing Malaysian industry requires a community with

sound understanding of science and technology to provide the necessary human capital with the right

intellectual capacity, innovative skills and entrepreneurial mindset that can adapt and embrace the ongoing

rapid technological change in a versatile and resourceful manner. However, for Malaysia to remain relevant

and competitive in this global arena, it has become more challenging and essential for an institution of

higher learning to provide support for scientific research. The simple title of this conference encompasses

the word ‘Catalysis’ as a whole, highlighting the interest in the development of catalysts. Catalysis is a core

area of contemporary science posing major fundamental and conceptual challenges, while being at the

heart of the chemical industry. It is a major theme in chemical sciences and engineering that underlies much

of the key research and teaching in these subjects.

With the presence of Prof. Dr. Akira Suzuki who is a Chemistry Nobel Laureate 2010, all participants

especially UTM should take advantage and leverage on his presence in terms of widening our social

networking and seek for collaboration between UTM and Hokkaido University, Japan. This can be

accomplished by conducting the student exchange programme or cooperating in the fields of education,

research and social services between these universities and also among the big companies under his

consultation.

On that note, I wish all a fruitful conference which should not be limited only to intellectual presentations,

but should also be the platform to promote networking and collaboration amongst researchers and

institutions in diverse disciplines. Finally, my heartfelt appreciation goes to the organizers for their

dedication and commitment in ensuring the success of this symposium, and my best wishes to all

participants for an intellectually stimulating and memorable conference.
