Biography
Prof. JEAN MARIE BASSET Specializes in surface organometallic chemistry. He is working as Professor in Department of Chemical Engineering, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Saudi Arabia.
Research Interest
This chemistry resulted in the discovery of a number of new catalytic reactions, such as the metathesis of alkanes which transforms any paraffin into its lower and higher homologues, the cleavage of paraffins by methane, the coupling of methane into ethane and hydrogen, the Ziegler-Natta depolymerisation which transforms polyethylene into diesel range gazoline, the transformation of ethylene to propylene, and the removal of traces of arsenic from water.
