Catalysts and
Adsorbents

“Chemistry without catalysts would be like a sword without a hilt, a light without brightness, a bell without sound.”

Alwin Mittasch (German chemist, 1869-1953)

Catalysts

Chemical processes are in constant improvement, so boosting efficiency, environmental care, and sustainability has become indispensable. Catalysts—used in 90 % of chemical processes—make this possible by accelerating reaction rates while lowering the energy required.

For this reason, catalysts are absolutely fundamental materials in the chemical industry.

Thanks to catalytic processes, companies are becoming more sustainable: they not only increase profits and dramatically cut operating costs, but also reduce energy consumption, thereby lowering CO₂ emissions.

Adsorbents

Alongside catalysts, adsorbents are among the finest allies in chemical processes. These materials help remove unwanted compounds from liquid or gaseous streams; an adsorbent can therefore retain and adsorb other substances within its structure. Industrial safety is paramount—adsorbents are essential for managing and controlling leaks or spills of liquids or contaminants. They are also widely employed in applications such as gas and liquid purification, mixture separation, and the retention of gases and liquids for later use.
