Catalyst carriers are porous substrate materials that are used in the chemicals and petrochemicals industries for refining liquids and gases into intermediate and end-use products.

Common carrier materials include:

Ceramic materials, such as cordierite, alumina, silicon carbide, etc., are often used in automobile exhaust catalysts.

Metal oxides, such as silicon dioxide, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, etc., are often used in petrochemical and fine chemical catalysts.

Activated carbon is used for adsorption and catalytic reactions.

Zeolite: has a unique pore structure and acid sites, used in a variety of catalytic reactions.

In most cases, catalysts require the use of carriers. Carriers (also called support materials) play an important role in the catalytic process. The main reasons include:

Increasing the specific surface area: Carriers usually have a highly porous structure, which can greatly increase the specific surface area of the catalyst, thereby improving its activity and efficiency.

Dispersing active components: Carriers can evenly disperse the active components of the catalyst to avoid agglomeration, so that the catalyst can contact the reactants more effectively during the reaction.

Improving stability: Carriers can provide mechanical support, enhance the mechanical strength and thermal stability of the catalyst, and prevent damage due to high temperature or mechanical stress during use.

Adjusting the reaction environment: Some carrier materials can adjust the reaction environment, such as providing acidic or basic sites, to further improve the catalytic efficiency.

The catalyst carrier not only fixes the active components of the catalyst, but also provides a large specific surface area, which is conducive to the contact between the reactants and the active components, thereby improving the catalytic efficiency.

The honeycomb ceramic carrier has high thermal stability, chemical stability and mechanical strength, which ensures the long-term stable operation of the catalyst in harsh environments. The ceramic material itself also has good corrosion resistance and stability, and can resist the influence of various environmental conditions such as light, heat, humidity, acid and alkali. The honeycomb structure makes the catalyst surface present a large number of tiny holes and uneven morphology, thus providing more active sites. This greatly increases the contact area between the catalyst and the reactant, and improves the catalytic efficiency.

As global environmental regulations become increasingly stringent, higher requirements are placed on the environmental performance of catalyst carriers, driving the industry towards green and low-carbon development. This requires catalyst carrier manufacturers to continuously develop new environmentally friendly products to meet market demand.

In 2024, the revenue share of Top 5 manufacturers reached 57.87%. It is expected that industry competition will become more intense in the next few years. The production technology of catalyst carrier products involves multiple technical fields and the production process is complex. Manufacturers should continuously optimize the production process to improve product quality and stability. Strengthen the quality control of raw materials to ensure that key performance indicators such as the pore structure and specific surface area of the catalyst carrier meet the standard requirements.
