Product type
Raney Nickel Catalyst is a finely divided nickel alloy that is widely used in hydrogenation reactions in the chemicals industry. It is typically made from nickel and aluminum, where the aluminum is leached away to create a porous structure that increases the surface area for catalytic activity. This catalyst is particularly effective for the reduction of organic compounds, making it a valuable tool in various chemical processes.

| Composition | Nickel and aluminum alloy |
| Nickel content | Typically 50% to 70% nickel by weight |
| Physical form | Powder or granules |
| Surface area | High surface area, typically 100 to 300 m┬▓/g |
| Activation | Requires activation prior to use |
When selecting a Raney Nickel Catalyst, consider the nickel content and the specific application it will be used for. It's important to specify the desired physical form, whether powder or granules, as well as any necessary activation procedures. Additionally, inquire about the supplier's quality certifications and the availability of technical data sheets to ensure compatibility with your processes.
