Catalyst

Used in cracking, reforming, hydrogenation, and other reactions (e.g., petroleum refining, ethylene production). Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts for converting heavy oils into lighter fuels.

1. Main Applications


Petrochemical Industry:

Used in cracking, reforming, hydrogenation, and other reactions (e.g., petroleum refining, ethylene production).

Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts for converting heavy oils into lighter fuels.


Chemical Synthesis:

Accelerates ammonia synthesis (Haber process), methanol production, and polymerization (e.g., polyethylene, polypropylene).

Acid/base catalysts for esterification or alkylation reactions.


Environmental Protection:

Automotive catalytic converters (three-way catalysts) to reduce NOx, CO, and hydrocarbon emissions.

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts for NOx removal in industrial exhaust.


Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology:

Enzymatic catalysts for drug synthesis (e.g., antibiotics) or biocatalysis.

Homogeneous catalysts for asymmetric synthesis.


Energy Sector:

Fuel cell catalysts (e.g., platinum-based catalysts for oxygen reduction).

Photocatalysts for water splitting (hydrogen production) or CO2 reduction.




2. Operation Precautions


Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

Wear gloves, safety goggles, and respirators (for powdered catalysts to avoid inhalation).

Use anti-static clothing for catalysts sensitive to ignition (e.g., nickel-based catalysts).


Contamination Control:

Maintain a clean workspace to prevent exposure to moisture, sulfur, or poisons (e.g., for precious metal catalysts).

Use dedicated tools to avoid cross-contamination between catalyst batches.


Reaction Conditions:

Strictly control temperature, pressure, and feed rates (e.g., overheating may cause sintering or deactivation).

Avoid thermal shocks (sudden temperature changes can fracture catalyst supports).


Hazard Management:

Pyrophoric catalysts (e.g., Raney nickel) require inert atmospheres during handling.

Toxic catalysts (e.g., vanadium pentoxide) need closed systems and fume hoods.


Waste Handling:

Deactivated catalysts containing heavy metals (e.g., Pt, Pd) must be treated as hazardous waste.

Follow local regulations for disposal or recycling.



3. Storage Precautions


Environmental Conditions:

Store in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.

Moisture-sensitive catalysts (e.g., zeolites) require desiccants or inert gas (N2/Ar) purging.


Packaging:

Use airtight containers (e.g., glass bottles, sealed bags) to prevent oxidation or moisture absorption.

Label containers clearly with catalyst type, hazard warnings, and expiration dates.


Segregation:

Separate from incompatible substances (e.g., acids, oxidizers, or reducing agents).

Store noble metal catalysts (e.g., Pt/C) in secure areas to prevent theft.


Stability Monitoring:

Check periodically for physical changes (e.g., caking, discoloration) indicating degradation.

Reactivate moisture-exposed catalysts (e.g., molecular sieves) via calcination if applicable.
