Catalyst for fat and oil hydrogenation
Nickel-on-silica supported catalyst specifically developed for the oil and grease industry. For ease of handling, it is supplied in the form of grease droplets.This catalyst,
Universal hydrogenation refers to a key industrial process in which hydrogen (H₂) is catalytically added to chemical compounds. As a rule, hydrogenation leads to the reduction of double or triple bonds to single bonds in aliphatic and aromatic compounds. In addition to the selection of a suitable catalyst, the hydrogen pressure, reaction temperature, catalyst quantity, and residence time in the reactor determine the efficiency, selectivity, and economic viability of the process.
The most commonly used hydrogenation catalysts include transition metals such as nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), and cobalt (Co). For highly selective organic syntheses, precious metal catalysts based on platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), rhodium (Rh), ruthenium (Ru), or iridium (Ir) are also used. Depending on the application, these catalysts enable targeted control of activity and selectivity.
C&CS has a broad portfolio of hydrogenation catalysts and comprehensive application expertise in organic chemistry. Typical examples of use are the hydrogenation of squalene to squalane with nickel catalysts such as NiSat 720 and the hydrogenation of cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL). Universal hydrogenation processes are used to produce or modify numerous chemical products that are used in the chemical industry, the cosmetics industry, and the flavor and fragrance industry.
