Product overview
Raney Nickel is a porous activated-nickel hydrogenation catalyst supplied as a water-wet slurry for safer handling. Buyers should define catalyst type, activity, residual aluminum, particle size, slurry concentration, substrate compatibility and spent-catalyst handling requirements.
Function & Usage
- Applications
Provides functional performance in the following evaluated uses: Hydrogenation of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds, Hydrogenolysis and desulfurization, Pharmaceutical and fine-chemical synthesis, Agrochemical and intermediate manufacturing. Final suitability depends on grade, formulation testing and destination-market requirements.
Product information
- Applications:
- Hydrogenation of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds, Hydrogenolysis and desulfurization, Pharmaceutical and fine-chemical synthesis, Agrochemical and intermediate manufacturing
- Hazard / Transport:
- Pyrophoric when dry and capable of igniting spontaneously in air. Wetted commercial material is commonly transported as UN 1378, Class 4.2; it can also release flammable hydrogen on contact with acids. Keep continuously submerged and follow the exact SDS and dangerous-goods controls. Any UN number, hazard class or packing group applies only when confirmed for the quoted concentration and physical form in the current grade-specific SDS.
- Storage:
- Store tightly sealed and continuously covered with the declared liquid in a cool, secure and well-ventilated hazardous-material area. Never allow fresh or spent catalyst to dry; keep away from acids, oxidizers, heat and ignition sources.
