Several types of catalysts are commonly used with oxygenates, including:
- Metal Catalysts: Metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium are often used in hydrogenation and oxidation reactions involving oxygenates. - Zeolites: These microporous materials are employed in various reactions, such as the conversion of methanol to hydrocarbons. - Metal Oxides: Oxides of metals like titanium, vanadium, and molybdenum are used in oxidation and dehydrogenation reactions.
