Catalytic hydrogenation of ester | Johnson Matthey
Bringing novel, sustainable opportunities to your development processes
As a proven leader in the development of homogeneous catalyst systems, we continually innovate to bring improved processes to industry.
Our Gusev™ catalysts provide a greener alternative to the use of hydrides for the reduction of esters and other carbonyl compounds. They enable customers to achieve highly selective reductions at low catalyst loadings, greatly improving the economics and sustainability of many industrial processes. With our extensive in-house expertise, we collaborate with customers to optimize this technology for more efficient and cost-effective processes.
Working in partnership
We support customers with the implementation of our innovative technologies though customised collaborative programs including:
Product samples for in-house testing
Technical recommendations and advice
Collaborative R & D projects
minimise catalyst cost contribution
process optimisation to suit capabilities
proof-of-concept demonstration
