Catalyst carrier, Case 1
Catalyst
Catalyst for ethanol synthesis (Phosphoric acid supported)
Industrial
Functional Carrier
WHAT ABOUT ?
Diatomaceous earth was used to use as a support for ethanol synthesis by the hydration reaction of ethylene. However, impurity of alumina was eluted during the reaction, and it causes deterioration of the activity and strength of the catalyst. Silica gel has been used as an alternative carrier, and the elution of alumina seldom occurs. Although, granular silica gel was initially applied, it caused increase of pressure loss due to powdering and decreased catalyst life.
PROBLEM
- Prevent from powdering
- Increase in pressure loss
HOW TO ?
Use CARiACT Q series which is spherical silica gel.
RECOMMENDATION

FORMULA
CARiACT Q series prevents from catalyst deterioration and increasing pressure loss.
CARiACT Q series is a spherical silica gel that has pore structure and water resistance. It can reduce powdering and extends for catalyst life.
