Headwaters Inc. (11778 S. Election Road, Suite 210, Draper, Ut 84020, Draper UT 84020; Tel: 801/984-9400, Fax: 801/984-9410; Dr. Peizheng Zhou, vice president) has developed nanocatalyst technology (NxCat) that disperses, aligns and anchors precious metal atoms on support materials. The resulting catalyst achieves high selectivity, productivity, and long life while minimizing the amount of precious metals required.
One application for NxCat is the direct production of hydrogen peroxide from hydrogen and oxygen. This process is significantly lower in capital and operating costs compared to the conventional anthraquinone process. Ray Balee, president of HNI, says ...
