Product Description of ‌Copper chromite CAS#12018-10-9

Copper chromite (CAS 12018-10-9) is a black or grayish-black inorganic compound, mainly applied as a multifunctional catalyst in organic synthesis and industrial production. It has a density of about 5.400 g/cm³ and an extremely low vapor pressure of 0-0.08 Pa at 190-200℃, and is insoluble in water and dilute acids.

Product Application of Copper chromite CAS#12018-10-9

Copper chromite is widely used as a catalyst in hydrogenation reactions, owing to its excellent performance in the selective hydrogenation of functional groups in aliphatic and aromatic compounds. Industrially, it is commonly employed for the conversion of furfural to furfuryl alcohol and the reduction of butyraldehyde to 1-butanol. It also enables the partial hydrogenation of conjugated dienes to monoenes and the selective reduction of carbonyl groups in vegetable oils. Furthermore, CuCr catalysts have been extensively studied for multiple catalytic applications, including the hydrogenolysis of cellulose. Apart from catalytic hydrogenation, copper chromite can also serve as a combustion catalyst to control burning rate, and act as a light-absorbing pigment in specific materials.
