Products available
BASF offers a comprehensive line of Pd/Pd/Rh/Ru on carbon powder catalysts, which can be supplied in water-free form or water- wet form . The carbon selected as support can be from wood, peat, coconut or other origin, and has undergone several treatments for optimized catalyst performance. The platinum metal can either be in the reduced or the unreduced state. The location of the metal crystallite on the carbon support is well controlled leading to either an edge, mixed or uniform distribution inside the pores of the carbon.
