Results for tag: "Industrial Catalyst"

Industrial catalysts are substances used to increase the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process. They are used in a variety of industries, including petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing. Industrial catalysts are used to increase the efficiency of chemical processes, reduce energy consumption, and reduce the amount of waste produced. Catalysts are typically divided into two categories: homogeneous and heterogeneous. Homogeneous catalysts are soluble in the reaction medium, while heterogeneous catalysts are insoluble. Industrial catalysts are typically heterogeneous, as they are easier to separate from the reaction mixture. Industrial catalysts are used in a variety of processes, including hydrocarbon conversion, hydrogenation, oxidation, and polymerization. They are also used in the production of specialty chemicals, such as pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and dyes. Some of the major companies in the industrial catalyst market include BASF, Johnson Matthey, Albemarle Corporation, Clariant, and Evonik Industries. Show Less Read more
