Cabot Corporation Introduces Activated Carbons Optimized for Catalyst Support Applications at ACHEMA 2018

May 16, 2018

Cabot NORIT┬« Activated Carbons Increase Efficiency and Reduce
Valuable Metal Loss for Catalyst Applications

BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cabot
Corporation (NYSE: CBT) today announced the availability of the Cabot
NORIT┬« SX, NORIT GSX, NORIT RX and NORIT CN activated carbon
families optimized for metal catalyst support. These products will be
featured at ACHEMA
2018, Stand D56 Hall 9.1, in Frankfurt, Germany on June
11-15, 2018. Cabot will also showcase its convenient activated carbon
sample kits for precious
metal catalyst support and purification
of lead pharmaceutical compounds which will be available at no cost
to qualified show attendees.

Catalysts are a key component in most chemical processes including those
used in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries. CabotÔÇÖs NORIT
activated carbon products play a key role as carriers for precious
metals in catalyst applications, offering strict product specifications
and an increase in the efficiency of the catalyst impregnation process
which reduces valuable testing and process time. The high crushing
strength and hardness produce low abrasion that helps to avoid fines
being introduced into the catalyst and reduces the loss of precious
metals.

ÔÇ£Most chemical processes require a catalyst, making them vital to the
fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries,ÔÇØ said Bart Genemans, EMEA
Business Director, Cabot Corporation. ÔÇ£Our activated carbon products are
designed to improve metal dispersion and offer greater internal surface
area, high inertness and versatility making them ideal for todayÔÇÖs
chemical processes that require the use of a catalyst supported on a
carrier.ÔÇØ

When compared to other carriers, like silica or alumina, CabotÔÇÖs
activated carbons provide:

Greater internal surface area and lower cost per cubic meter
Stable inertness in harsh process conditions such as acidic and
alkaline solutions
No interference with selectivity or activity
Availability in powdered, granular and extruded shapes
Easy recovery of precious metals and other non-ferrous metals from
complex liquid streams
