Product overview
Palladium on Carbon (Pd/C) is a supported precious-metal catalyst supplied in multiple palladium loadings, support types, reduction states and wetting systems. Buyers should specify Pd loading on a dry basis, water content, carbon type, particle size, activity test, poisons profile and recovery requirements.
Function & Usage
- Applications
Provides functional performance in the following evaluated uses: Hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis reactions, Pharmaceutical and fine-chemical synthesis, Agrochemical-intermediate manufacturing, Carbon-carbon coupling and deprotection routes by catalyst grade. Final suitability depends on grade, formulation testing and destination-market requirements.
Product information
- Primary category:
- Fine Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare, Agriculture & Crop Solutions
- Subcategory:
- Supported Metal & Hydrogenation Catalysts
- CAS No.:
- 7440-05-3 (palladium) / 7440-44-0 (activated-carbon support)
- Form:
- Black water-wet catalyst powder / Paste
- Content / Grade:
- Common grades contain 5% or 10% palladium on a dry-support basis; typically supplied with about 50% water for safer handling; reduction state, carbon type, particle size and activity by grade
- Applications:
- Hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis reactions, Pharmaceutical and fine-chemical synthesis, Agrochemical-intermediate manufacturing, Carbon-carbon coupling and deprotection routes by catalyst grade
- Hazard / Transport:
- Dry or partially dried Pd/C can be pyrophoric, and spent catalyst containing adsorbed hydrogen or solvent may ignite on exposure to air. Keep the catalyst continuously wet with the declared liquid, exclude ignition sources and confirm the exact dangerous-goods classification and emergency procedure from the supplied SDS.
- Storage:
- Keep the original container tightly closed, upright and continuously wet with the declared liquid in a cool, ventilated area. Never allow the catalyst or spent filter cake to dry; segregate from oxidizers, incompatible chemicals, heat and ignition sources.
