Advanced ZEOLITE MATERIALS

Advanced ZEOLITE MATERIALS

Zeolite Powders for a variety of applications Clariant is one of the world s largest producers of specialty zeolites and zeolite-based catalysts. The long history and experience of Süd-Chemie in Zeolite development is now part of Clariant. Our range of products includes advanced zeolite powders and extrudates for use within the industrial processes of petrochemicals, oil refining, and chemicals, as well as within emission control applications for hydrocarbon storage in catalytic converters and the decomposition of NOx and N 2 O. We offer numerous Pentasils, Betas and Mordenites based on a wide range of silica-to-alumina ratios. Theses products provide diverse properties and are available directly from our local sales offices. 2 ZEOLITE MATERIALS

Advanced Zeolite Materials FOR A VARIETY OF APPLICATIONS The unique properties of zeolites have ensured their success: Shape-selectivity allows for discrimination of molecules by size and structure Tailored acidity established zeolites as the most versatile solid acid catalysts Variety of electronic interactions between guest molecules and the zeolite widen the spectrum of applications. Zeolite structures are named according to the code established by the International Zeolite Association (IZA). Today, it is common practice to use the term zeolites also for materials that are structurally related to the classical crystalline aluminosilicates, although many are chemically different. ZEOLITE PORTFOLIO Clariant s zeolite manufacturing portfolio primarily comprises the most widely used zeolites: (in alphabetical order, IZA structural codes in parenthesis) Beta (BEA) Faujasite (FAU) Mordenite (MOR) Pentasil/ZSM-5 (MFI) Typical applications of Zeolite Materials Industrial off-gas purification Automotive emission control Odor removal, active carbon replacement Fuels upgrading Production of petrochemical intermediates Processing of chemicals and fine-chemicals Heat management 3
