Hydrogenation Catalyst

Hydrogenation catalyst are used in hydrogenation reaction in which molecular Hydrogen and other chemical element (often an alkene) react with each other. Nickle, palladium and platinum are some examples of hydrogenation catalyst. It is noteworthy to mention that the non-catalytic hydrogenation reaction take place at higher temperatures.

Petrosadid offers wide range of hydrogenation catalysts.
