Ruthenium-palladium on carbon catalyst

Johnson Matthey manufactures ruthenium-palladium on carbon catalysts, developed through extensive R&D to optimise the catalyst for hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis 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. 

Johnson Matthey’s technical experts can provide you with guidance on choosing the right ruthenium-palladium on carbon catalyst for your project. 

Advantages of Ru-Pd on carbon catalyst:

  • Reduced catalyst cost contribution through increased control of process.
  • Catalysts are designed to optimise metal location and distribution for improved performance at lower catalyst loading.
  • Stable and robust carbon for long reaction lifetimes allowing for easy filtration from your process for recovery, reuse, and refining.
