APPLICATIONS
Zirconium oxides / hydroxides in their undoped and doped forms, can modify the the nature of catalyst supports in respect of crush strength, surface area stability, porosity, surface acidity / basicity and crystallinity.

ENVIRONMENTAL CATALYSTS
Zirconium based catalysts can be used in pollution control in mobile and stationary sources. MEI/MEL Chemicals/ Nikkei-MEL can supply an extensive range of zirconia and doped zirconia powders and precursors (aqueous zirconium salts and organic soluble complexes). All powders/salts/formed products can be tailored for individual customer requirements. Please contact in confidence to discuss your requirements

REFINING & CHEMICAL CATALYSTS
Zirconium based catalysts can be used in hydrogenation, oxidation, amination, isomerisation and other catalytic reactions. Strong acid catalysts based on sulfated and tungstated zirconia are excellent Friedel Krafts and isomerisation catalysts.

MEI/MEL Chemicals/ Nikkei-MEL can supply an extensive range of zirconia and doped zirconia powders and precursors (aqueous zirconium salts and organic soluble complexes). Formed products are also available. All powders/salts/formed products can be tailored for individual customer requirements. Please contact in confidence to discuss your requirements.

REFORMING CATALYSTS FOR FUEL CELLS
MEL Chemicals supply a range of high purity, fully or partially stabilised yttria zirconia powders, for use as electrolytes and anodes in SOFC systems. The range contains sinter-active, sub-micron powders which, when fired, produce dense, non-porous layers. A range of ceria-stabilised zirconia powders for fuel processing catalysts is also available. These have controlled particle size, redox properties and surface chemistry, which can be fine-tuned for use in reforming.
