Why we use zinc as a catalyst?

Many of the transition metals have catalytic activity that has been documented in several books. The salts of zinc are common catalysts when used for their activity in a variety of organic reactions. read more

Zinc appears as a reactant in a great many organic reactions, almost all being reduction of carbon-carbon multiple bonds. From what I can see with a quick survey, zinc is not a catalyst in these reactions, but a reducing agent. In the process, it is oxidized to Zn(II). read more

ZnCl2 is used as catalyst to convert alcohol into alkyl halide. It attaches to hydroxyl group of alcohol and thus increases it's laevability thus increases rate of conversion of alcohol into alkyl halide. read more

6. Zinc Oxide Catalyst T-AC-1 It is used for deep desulfurization of liquid propylene, industrial feed gases and biogas at ambient temperature. Form: extrudates, 4mm In addition to zinc oxide catalyst, we also offer methanation catalyst, ammonia catalyst, alumina support ball, and more. read more
