Ruthenium on carbon catalyst
Johnson Matthey manufactures ruthenium on carbon catalysts, developed through extensive R&D to optimise the catalyst for hydrogenation and alcohol oxidation 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 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 Ru/C catalyst for your project.
Advantages of Ru/C catalysts:
- Suitable for harsher reaction conditions, such as high temperature and pressure.
- 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.
