Platinum on carbon catalysts

Johnson Matthey manufacturers a wide range of platinum on carbon catalysts, developed through extensive R&D to optimise the catalyst for hydrogenation, hydrogenolysis, selective hydrogenation, selective oxidation, and reductive alkylation reactions. With the increased complexity of APIs and performance demands, carrying out reactions in the presence of multiple functional groups becomes more challenging. Our flexibility in designing and tailoring new platinum on carbon catalysts 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 carbon catalyst for your project.

Advantages of Pt/C catalysts:

  • Suitable for an extensive range of reactions, with high selectivity.
  • Catalysts are designed to optimise metal location and distribution for specific reaction conditions.
  • Stable and robust carbon for long reaction lifetimes allowing for easy filtration from your process for recovery, reuse, and refining.
