What are Common Crystalline Structures in Catalysts?
Common crystalline structures in catalysts include:
- Face-Centered Cubic (FCC): Found in metals like platinum and palladium, which are widely used in hydrogenation and oxidation reactions. - Body-Centered Cubic (BCC): Seen in metals like iron, often used in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. - Hexagonal Close-Packed (HCP): Found in metals like cobalt, which are used in various hydrogenation processes. - Zeolites: These are microporous, aluminosilicate minerals used extensively in petrochemical cracking and isomerization reactions.
