Rhodium on alumina catalysts
Johnson Matthey manufactures rhodium on alumina catalysts, developed through extensive R&D to optimise the catalyst for 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 new catalysts for your specific application provides the optimal catalyst solution for your transformation.
Advantages of Rh/Al2O3:
- Suitable for aromatic and olefin hydrogenation reactions.
- Stable and robust alumina for long reaction lifetimes allowing for easy filtration from your process for recovery, reuse, and refining.
- Catalysts are designed to optimise metal location and distribution for specific reaction conditions.
