Catalysis is an important step in organic chemical reactions. Precious metal catalysts change the rate of chemical reactions but do not participate in the final product of the reaction.
Precious metal catalysts occupy an extremely important position in petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, pesticide, food, environmental protection, energy, electronics and other fields.
Almost all precious metals can be used as catalysts, but commonly used are platinum, palladium, rhodium, silver, ruthenium, etc. Their d electron orbitals are not filled, the surface is easy to adsorb reactants, and they have high catalytic activity. It also has comprehensive excellent properties such as high temperature resistance, oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, and has become the most important catalyst material.
Classification of precious metal catalysts:
1. Heterogeneous catalysis
Heterogeneous catalytic reactions account for four-fifths of all catalytic reactions. Most of them are insoluble solids, and most heterogeneous catalysts are carrier-supported noble metal types, such as Pt-Rh/Al2O3, Pt-Pd/Al2O3, etc. Its main forms are metal wire mesh and porous inorganic carrier supported metal. Wire mesh catalysts (such as platinum mesh, silver mesh) have limited application scope and dosage.
2. Homogeneous catalysis
Usually soluble compounds (salts or complexes), such as palladium chloride CAS: 7647-10-1, rhodium chloride CAS: 10049-07-7, Rhodium (triphenylphosphine)carbonylacetylacetonate CAS: 25470-96-6, etc.
3. Carrier catalyst
According to the shape of the carrier, the supported catalyst can be divided into spherical, particulate, honeycomb and columnar. Of course, it can also be classified according to the main active metals in the catalyst, commonly used are: platinum catalyst, palladium catalyst and silver catalyst.
Application of precious metal catalysts
Due to its irreplaceable catalytic activity and selectivity, precious metal catalysts are widely used in downstream applications, and occupy an extremely important position in many fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, medicine, pesticide, food, environmental protection, energy, and electronics.
