Chiral metals – and what they can catalyze
We have two identical hands – almost. They are mirror images, or chiral. Jacob Wright from Empa in Switzerland demonstrated at EUROPACAT2025 that metals can also have such a structure. Figure 1: Chirality represented by two enantiomers of a chiral molecule, which are similar to each other as the right and left hand. (Image source: […]
Portfolio expanded: New platinum catalyst for SO₂ oxidation in H₂SO₄ production
C&CS announces that it has added a new platinum-based honeycomb catalyst for the oxidation of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) for sulfuric acid production to its portfolio. The catalyst is designed to increase energy efficiency and reduce emissions in sulfuric acid production. Compared to conventional vanadium oxide-based catalysts, the platinum-based catalyst exhibits higher catalytic activity, a lower […]
New catalyst for biomass gasification plants – Successful test in pilot and demonstration plant
New tar reforming catalyst for use in hot gas cleaning of biomass gasification plants The production of biogenic hydrogen from locally available biomass in biomass gasification plants is of great interest with regard to the European Green Deal’s goal of reducing CO2 emissions by 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 and to net zero by […]
New iron catalyst: Energy savings in hydrogen liquefaction
Hydrogen is the energy carrier for a green future. We at C&CS GmbH are contributing to green technology and have expanded our research expertise: chemists Dr. Hans-Jürgen Eberle and Dr. Arno Tißler are now working with us on the further development and rapid market readiness of their new catalyst for the accelerated establishment of the […]
Remaxx 450 – Warehouse clearance!!
We are offering our remaining stock of 800 kg of ReforMax® 450 LDP at exceptionally low prices. This is an aluminum oxide-supported nickel catalyst in ring form for the steam reforming of hydrocarbons to produce town gas – a mixture of CO, H2, and methane. The manufacturer is Clariant. In secondary and autothermal reforming, aluminum […]
Second Managing Director at C&CS
(English Text down below) We are delighted to welcome Dr. Christian Hanser as our new Managing Director! He will now share the role with the founder of C&CS, Dr. Julius Nickl. Dr. Hanser is also a chemist and has held numerous management positions, most recently at SGS Analytics Germany GmbH in Augsburg. There, he was […]
Acquisition of catalysis laboratory
For 30 years, our sister company GWP mbH has operated a gas laboratory, which should perhaps be called a catalysis and emissions laboratory. Here, as contract research, we developed the mixed oxides that later found their way into nitrogen oxide reduction in trucks and cars, now known as AdBlue. We also developed a pilot plant, […]
