Zirconia’s inherent stability and resistance to chemical degradation allow it to withstand harsh hydrothermal reaction conditions without breaking down. This can result in extended catalyst lifespans and reduced operational costs.
Zirconia-based oxides have an effective interaction with supported metals, enabling efficient usage of PGM’s for example
Luxfer MEL Technologies’ expertise and range of manufacturing processes enables the fine control of particle size and pore structure. This design feature allows for efficient mass transport of reactants to active sites and the removal of products, preventing the accumulation of foulants in the catalyst pores.
Our advanced materials engineering capabilities enable us to incorporate a variety of dopants into zirconia catalysts. By selecting the appropriate dopants, we can tailor the acidity, basicity, or redox properties of the catalyst to suit specific chemical transformations.
