Platinum catalyst with layered hydroxides

The platinum catalyst with layered hydroxides is designed for catalytic processes related to propane production. The product is claimed to have high activity and selectivity.

The platinum content, physical form, pack size, operating temperatures, and other parameters are selected according to the technological task. To obtain a specification, send a description of the process to the specialists of NPO Ecotec.

Role of the material in the process

The catalyst is selected for a specific conversion, feedstock composition, and unit operating mode. The active component, support, and preparation method together determine the accessibility of active sites. Therefore, specifying the metal or trade name does not guarantee the same activity and selectivity in different processes.

Selection criteria

When comparing options, the content and chemical form of the active component, support type, particle size, moisture, impurities, and pre-activation method should be specified. For industrial processes, mechanical strength, pressure drop, and resistance to feedstock components are also important.

Preparation and testing

Before scaling up, the material is tested under conditions close to operating conditions: with the same feedstock, at comparable temperature, pressure, and contact time. The drying, reduction, calcination, or other activation program is selected according to the documentation. Results can only be correctly compared with the same loading and product analysis methodology.

Stability and operation

The performance of the catalytic system can be affected by water, sulfur compounds, salts, heavy impurities, coking, and overheating. Permissible contaminants, signs of deactivation, and the possibility of regeneration should be clarified for the specific grade. Spent material should be collected separately and handled considering the composition of the active component.
