Metalyst® MC 911

Metalyst® MC 9 series are Evonik's innovative catalyst solution for hydrogenations in gas and liquid phase fixed bed processes. These activated Nickel catalysts come in a unique foam shape that offers very high activity - due to its open structure - and light weight (low bulk density) at remarkable mechanical strength.

Typical Applications

Fixed bed processes in gas and liquid phase, like:
  • Hydrogenation of Olefins to Alkanes
  • Hydrogenation of Butynediol to Butanediol
  • Hydrogenation of Nitriles to the corresponding Amines
  • Hydrogenation of Carbonyl Groups to the corresponding Alcohols

Benefits at a glance

  • Non-pyrophoric - easy handling
  • Mechanically stable, regularly shaped catalyst particles
  • Low bulk density: substantially less metal required
  • Low pressure drop in catalyst bed
  • Increased activity due to highly porous structure
  • High selectivity - significantly reduced by-products
