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
Hydrogenations in gas and liquid phase fixed bed processes:
- Hydrogenation of Sugar to Sugar Alcohols
- Hydrogenation of Butynediol to Butanediol
- Hydrogenation of CC Double Bonds
- 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 preasure drop in catalyst bed
- Increased activity due to highly porous structure
- High selectivity - significantly reduced by-products
