Catalysis

Zirconia materials are hydrothermally stable in most harsh reaction conditions and the stability increases with temperature. This stability prevents catalyst deactivation, leading to extended catalyst lifespans and reduced operational costs.

Zirconia based materials can be used in harsh conditions, the chemical inertness and resistance to poisoning allows zirconia to continue where other catalysts would fail.

Zirconia-based catalyst powders can be engineered to have a controlled porosity 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.
