Applications / Catalyst Support
Catalyst Support Activated Carbon
Loading Pd/Pt/Rh/Ni? Surface area and loading capacity are the core.
Selection Logic
| Scenario | Requirement | Recommended | Key Spec |
|---|---|---|---|
| Precious-metal catalyst (Pd/Pt/Rh/Ni) | High loading, good metal dispersion | High-surface coconut / nutshell carbon | Iodine 1000–1500, SSA ≥1000 |
| Vinyl acetate synthesis catalyst | Specific pore structure, high strength | Catalyst support carbon | Iodine 1000–1500, hardness ≥95 |
| Hydrogenation & chemical catalysis | Reactor-durable | High-hardness granular carbon | Mesh by reactor |
Scenario Guide
Precious-Metal Catalyst → High-Surface Carbon
Loading palladium, platinum, rhodium or nickel — the larger the surface area, the more active sites and the higher the loading. Iodine 1000–1500 is the mainstream range.
Catalyst Support → High-Hardness Granular Carbon
For vinyl acetate synthesis and other chemical processes, the carbon works long-term inside the reactor, so particle hardness must be high (≥95%).
Key Parameters

FAQ
What specifications matter for catalyst support carbon?
High surface area (iodine 1000–1500 mg/g, SSA ≥1000 m²/g) for metal dispersion, and high particle hardness (≥95%) to survive long reactor service.
Which metals can be loaded on this carbon?
Palladium, platinum, rhodium and nickel — the loadable metal is customised to your catalytic process.
Can the same carbon support different catalytic processes?
The carrier is graded by process — vinyl acetate synthesis, hydrogenation and precious-metal catalysis each specify pore structure and mesh by reactor.
Why is high surface area important for catalysts?
More surface area means more active sites and higher, more stable metal loading, which directly improves catalytic efficiency and metal dispersion.
