Platinum on alumina catalyst

Johnson Matthey manufactures platinum on alumina catalysts, developed through extensive R&D to optimise the catalyst for selective hydrogenation reactions. With the increased complexity of APIs and performance demands, carrying out hydrogenations in the presence of multiple functional groups becomes more challenging. Our flexibility in designing and tailoring a new platinum on alumina catalyst for your specific application provides the optimal catalyst solution for your transformation. 

Johnson Matthey’s technical experts can provide you with guidance on choosing the right platinum on alumina catalyst for your project.  

Advantages of Pt / Al2O3:

  • Suitable for highly selective reactions.
  • Catalysts are designed to optimise metal location and distribution for specific reaction conditions.
  • Stable and robust alumina for long reaction lifetimes allowing for easy filtration from your process for recovery, reuse, and refining.
