GAC-Rh
GAC-Rh Overview
Rh on granular activated carbon, GAC-Rh catalysts are use for hydrogenation and other reductive chemistries for fixed bed operations. Standard GAC-Rh catalyst particle sizes are 10x40 mesh and 4x8 mesh. The Rhodium loading and promoters are chosen based on the application, One general application of the GAC-Rh catalysts is to convert current batch catalyst processes requiring catalyst separations to continuous processes. A second motivator can be the need to run chemistry at higher pressure in multi-tubular reactors where exceptional heat removal and higher pressures can be used. Applied Catalysts can provide catalyst samples for your testing, or can run your chemistry or surrogate chemistry in our lab and show tube reactors.
GAC-Rh Benefits
- The GAC-Rh catalyst is a robust catalyst offering high activity and selectivity for hydrogenation and other reductive chemistries
- The GAC-Rh catalyst is not pyrophoric
- The GAC-Rh catalyst is available in both 10×40 mesh and 4×8 mesh particle sizes
- GAC-based catalysts are a lower-cost solution compared to ACMC-based catalysts
Applications & Use Cases
The GAC-Rh catalyst is useful for many types of hydrogenations, including:
- aromatic ring hydrogenation
