Platinum on Carbon 5%
Platinum on Carbon 5% is a highly efficient catalyst featuring platinum nanoparticles dispersed on activated carbon, ideal for various hydrogenation and oxidation reactions.
Description
Platinum on Carbon 5% (Pt/C), CAS 7440-06-4, is a heterogeneous catalyst comprising 5% (w/w) platinum metal finely dispersed on a high-surface-area activated carbon support. The platinum nanoparticles, typically ranging from 2-5 nm in size, provide a large number of active sites, enhancing catalytic efficiency. This material is synthesized through advanced deposition techniques, ensuring uniform distribution and strong metal-support interaction, which contributes to its excellent stability and recyclability. The activated carbon support offers a high porosity and surface area, facilitating reactant adsorption and product desorption. This catalyst exhibits exceptional activity and selectivity in a broad spectrum of organic reactions, including hydrogenations, dehydrogenations, oxidations, and reductions. Its robust nature makes it suitable for demanding industrial processes. The concentration of platinum can be customized to optimize cost-effectiveness and catalytic performance for specific applications. Regular quality control ensures consistent particle size, dispersion, and catalytic activity across batches.
Applications
Platinum on Carbon 5% is extensively utilized in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in hydrogenation steps. In fine chemical synthesis, it serves as a robust catalyst for the production of intermediates and specialty chemicals, including the selective hydrogenation of functional groups. The petrochemical sector employs it for various upgrading processes, such as the purification of feedstocks and the production of specialty fuels. Furthermore, it finds application in environmental catalysis for pollutants removal and in the energy sector for fuel cell technology, enhancing the efficiency of hydrogen oxidation and oxygen reduction reactions. Its versatility extends to heterogeneous catalysis, making it a critical component in numerous industrial processes requiring controlled selective transformations.
Storage & Handling
Store Platinum on Carbon 5% in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials. Keep container tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption and exposure to air. Handle with care, avoiding dust generation. Use appropriate respiratory protection and gloves during handling. Ensure adequate ventilation in the workplace. Protect from physical damage.
