Welcome to the Leclerc Catalysis Research Group Homepage Our research group at New Mexico Tech investigates new
catalyst and reactor concepts for the alternative and conventional fuels
industries. Our recent projects
have looked at the conversion of ethanol to hydrogen by aqueous phase
reforming and partial oxidation as well as the conversion of ethane to
ethylene by oxidative dehydrogenation.
Currently, our research is funded by the DOE EPSCoR
program in collaboration with the University of New Mexico. NEWS: -
