nickelkatalysator
Nickelkatalysator refers to a catalyst composed primarily of nickel. Nickel catalysts are widely used in various chemical reactions due to their affordability, reactivity, and ability to promote specific transformations. They are often employed in hydrogenation reactions, where they facilitate the addition of hydrogen to unsaturated organic compounds. This is crucial in industries such as petrochemicals for processes like the desulfurization of fuels and in the food industry for the hydrogenation of vegetable oils to produce margarine and shortening.
Beyond hydrogenation, nickel catalysts are also utilized in reforming processes, such as steam reforming of hydrocarbons
The activity and selectivity of nickel catalysts can be influenced by factors such as the physical form,
