Ruthenium on alumina catalyst
Johnson Matthey manufactures a ruthenium on alumina catalyst, developed through extensive R&D to optimise the catalyst 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 Ru/Al2O3 catalyst:
- Suitable for harsher reaction conditions, such as high temperature and pressure.
- The catalyst is 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.
