Application and utility of platinum catalysts

Hits: 113 img

Platinum catalysts are mainly made of precious metal chloroplatinate as the main raw material, using metal mesh, platinum black, or platinum loaded on supports such as alumina.

Platinum "is a chemical element commonly known as platinum. Platinum often exists in its natural mineral state in nature and is highly dispersed. Obtained through enrichment and extraction of raw platinum ore. Discovered by Spanish Ulloa and Wood in 1935 and 1941, respectively.

Platinum catalyst is one of the widely used precious metal catalysts. The scarcity of precious metal resources determines its high price, but its unique physicochemical properties determine its irreplaceable performance in various catalytic reactions.

50% of global annual platinum production is used for three-way converters in automotive exhaust purification systems. Fuel cell electrode catalysts, selective hydrogenation of catalytic reforming in petrochemical industry, and the synthesis of various fine chemicals heavily rely on efficient supported precious metal catalysts such as platinum and palladium.

Platinum catalysts have another little-known utility: raw materials for platinum furnaces. Platinum furnace originated in the upper class of European society. In the winter of 19th century Europe, young ladies and noblewomen like to carry a type of heater called a "platinum chest stove" with them on their way to various social activities, in order to prevent their carriage from getting cold. Platinum is platinum, a precious metal with a silver white luster, commonly used in the manufacture of various jewelry. The "Platinum Furnace" is not only beautiful and fashionable, but also can continuously transmit heat, making it safe and reliable.

The "Platinum Chest Stove" is a metal made, flat and smooth stove that can be carried into one's arms. This stove contains neither red coal balls nor charcoal, only alcohol and platinum. The cleverness lies in the fact that alcohol, after slowly evaporating from the human body's body temperature, undergoes oxidation and generates heat under the catalysis of the catalyst metal platinum when passing through asbestos with platinum powder, thereby enabling people to achieve the purpose of heating. Platinum can catalyze the oxidation reaction of alcohol, and the special use of platinum catalysts lies in this.
