Copper-manganese catalysts consist of copper (Cu) and manganese compounds and are used in various industrial processes. Due to the synergistic effect of both components, they are characterized by high catalytic activity and selectivity. They find application in oxidation, hydrogenation, off-gas purification, as well as in organic synthesis.
One key area of application is off-gas purification, where copper-manganese catalysts contribute to the removal of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Furthermore, they support ozone depletion as well as the decomposition of nitrous oxide (N2O). In organic chemistry, they enable the selective oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes or ketones, as well as the hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons. They are also used in hydrogen production processes, such as the water-gas shift reaction.
Thanks to their good thermal stability, copper-manganese catalysts are well-suited for demanding industrial applications at medium to high temperatures.
