Silver Granular Catalyst
Silver granular catalysts are used in formaldehyde plants on top of the wire mesh so as to provide a high surface area for the methanol deformation to take place.
Heterogeneous processes involving silver catalysis include NOx reduction and catalytic oxidation of CO to CO2. Silver(I) salts can be used in several silver-catalyzed nucleophilic addition reactions and organic transformations. The high oxidation potentials associated with Ag ions allows silver catalysis, complexes, and ligands to enjoy significant potential in chemical synthesis.
