Innovations for catalysis

Of the inorganic specialities produced at Sachtleben, titanium dioxide is particularly useful in catalysis. It is possible on the basis of the sulfate process to systematically produce high-purity rutile and anatase bases.

The chemical properties of these bases can be individually adjusted within broad ranges. Among such properties are, in particular, defined water- and foreign-ion contents, including low concentrations of potentially disruptive anions.

In addition, the broad range of physical properties such as specific surface area, crystallite size, particle diameter, pore diameter and pore volume can also be modified via appropriate manipulation of the production process.

Applications


Titanium dioxide is used in heterogeneous catalysis as well as a photocatalyst. These applications include waste-gas clean-up in power generating plants and motor-vehicles (DeNOx), for instance, and the production of organic products by means of selective oxidation processes.

Depending on the intended application, Sachtleben's titanium dioxide products are used in the form of powders for fluidized-bed reactors, or applied to prefabricated substrates in the form of a wash-coat.
