Platinum catalyst is the best-known precious metal catalyst. It is active against almost all of chemical reactions such as hydrogenration, dehydrogenation and oxidation. Even in reactions which are not active with other catalysts, platinum catalyst is often active. Therefore it is always used when searching for the most effective catalyst. In the fine chemical area, it is used for purposes such as reductive alkylation, hydrogeneation of carbonyl and nitro compound without dehalogenation. Honeycomb catalyst supporting platinum is widely used for off gas treatment.
