Activated carbon, a new type of catalyst carrier carbon, plays a crucial role in chemical synthesis. It is mainly responsible for carrying catalysts, and although it does not directly participate in catalytic reactions, it is an indispensable component of supported catalysts.

Application scenarios:

1. Catalytic oxidation reaction: Copper catalysts are commonly used for catalytic oxidation reactions, including the oxidation of organic compounds such as alcohols, aldehydes, and ketones. For example, copper catalyst can be used as a catalyst to improve reaction rate and selectivity in the preparation of organic compounds such as acetaldehyde and ethyl acetate. In addition, copper catalysts can also catalyze the oxidation of ethylene to produce ethylene oxide, which is an important step in the production of chemicals such as polyvinyl alcohol and ethylene glycol.

2. Catalytic reduction reaction: Copper catalysts are also used in reduction reactions, such as catalyzing the reduction of nitro compounds, nitroso compounds, etc. When preparing amine compounds, copper catalysts can serve as reducing agents to reduce nitro or nitroso compounds to their corresponding amines.

3. Catalytic coupling reactions: Copper catalysts can also catalyze some coupling reactions, such as Ullmann reactions, used to synthesize carbon carbon bonds between aromatic compounds. This reaction is very useful in synthesizing organic molecules with special structures.

4. Catalytic esterification reaction: Esterification reaction is an important method for preparing ester compounds, and copper catalyst can catalyze this reaction. For example, in the preparation of ethyl acetate, copper catalyst can be used as a catalyst to improve reaction efficiency and product purity.

Catalysis of other special reactions: In addition to the above applications, copper catalysts can also be used to catalyze some special chemical reactions, such as epoxidation reactions, dehalogenation reactions, etc. These reactions are of great significance in the synthesis of organic molecules with specific structures.

5. Gas purification: Copper catalyst is an efficient deoxygenation material that can react chemically with oxygen at lower temperatures to produce copper oxide, thereby removing oxygen from the gas inside the glove box. Copper catalysts have regenerative properties and can restore their deoxygenation ability through reaction with hydrogen gas.

6. Industrial descaling: The copper based catalyst descaling device adopts advanced catalytic technology, which can effectively decompose and remove various scaling substances. Its descaling effect is significant, which can greatly improve the operating efficiency of the equipment. At the same time, the copper based catalyst descaling device does not require the addition of any chemical agents, avoiding environmental pollution caused by chemical agents, and has low energy consumption during operation, which helps enterprises achieve energy-saving and emission reduction goals. Therefore, copper catalysts have been widely used in industrial fields such as power, chemical, petroleum, and pharmaceuticals.
