HyMax 200 R Hydrogenation Oxoalcohol Synthesis
The HyMax™ 200 R (i-Dec) is a pre-reduced copper chromite catalyst for chemical synthesis processes, standardly supplied as a shaped body in tablet form (4.5×4.5
Copper-chromium catalysts combine copper (Cu) and chromium oxide (Cr2O3) and are used in various industrial processes. Due to the synergistic effect of both components, they offer high catalytic activity as well as high stability under demanding operating conditions. Chromium oxide helps to extend the service life of the catalyst and minimize the sintering behavior of the copper.
The most important areas of application include the dehydrogenation of alcohols to aldehydes or ketones, the hydrogenation of hydrocarbons and functionalized organic compounds, as well as methanol production from synthesis gas. In addition, copper-chromium catalysts are also utilized in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, where synthesis gas is converted into liquid hydrocarbons.
Thanks to their high temperature stability, long service life, and high selectivity, copper-chromium catalysts are suitable for a wide range of industrial processes. They enable the targeted production of desired products while minimizing side reactions, making them a proven solution for hydrogenation and dehydrogenation applications.
