<p><b>CHIMET Spa</b> <i>&quot;Catalysts Division&quot;
has been a supplier of Precious Metals Heterogeneous
Catalysts (Pt, Pd, Rh and Ru) for more than 15 years.
These catalysts are widely used in chemical processes
ranging from gas-phase oxidation of VOCs through
liquid-phase hydrogenation of terephthalic acid (to PTA)
to highly selected hydrogenation of intermediates in
pharmaceutical processes.</i></p>
<p><i>The most extensively used precious metals catalysts
are Pt and Pd supported on activated carbon or alumina.
However, metals like Ru and Rh as well as other supports
such as barium sulfate, calcium carbonate and others, are
also available.</i></p>
<p><b>CHIMET Spa</b><i> can offer precious metal
catalysts in different metal contents, various particle
sizes and in dry or wet forms.</i></p>
<p align="center"><b>CHIMET Spa</b><b><i> catalysts can
be divided into five groups:</i></b><em><br>
