Reusable catalyst cartridges for safe hydrogenation
Handling pyrophoric catalysts during hydrogenation processes poses significant safety and operational challenges. Ensuring minimal contact with these catalysts while maintaining high reaction efficiency is crucial for industries like pharmaceuticals and petrochemicals.
Facilitates safe and efficient catalyst handling
The CatCart® system from ThalesNano is a robust solution designed to enhance the safety and efficiency of handling heterogeneous catalysts. Encased in stainless-steel tubes, these reusable cartridges are suitable for the H-Cube® series instruments and Phoenix flow systems. Each cartridge packs a solid catalyst of specific particle sizes, ensuring efficient reaction rates and safer operations. The system’s design eliminates the need for catalyst filtration by containing the catalyst within the cartridge. Filters at both ends allow the liquid to pass while retaining the catalyst, enhancing mixing and reaction rates. The system supports various catalysts, from palladium on carbon to rhenium catalysts for chemoselective hydrogenations, meeting diverse industrial requirements.
Benefits
- Safer handling with no direct contact with catalysts
- Quick and seamless catalyst exchange
- No need for catalyst filtration
