Abstract
This paper describes the process of additive manufacturing and a selection of three-dimensional (3D) printing methods which have applications in chemical synthesis, specifically for the production of monolithic catalysts. A review was conducted on reference literature for 3D printing applications in the field of catalysis. It was proven that 3D printing is a promising production method for catalysts.
Highlights
Three-dimensional printing is a popular term for additive manufacturing (AM) [1]
We describe structures made of various materials such as: ceramics (Al2 O3, SiO2, TiO2, other oxides, SiC), zeolite (ZSM-5, Y), metal, carbon, and polymer, containing some active phases
The intensive development of new AM technologies, the decreasing proportion of price to resolution, as well as the elaboration of new building materials have led to many promising constructional, biomedical, consumer, and scientific applications
Summary
Three-dimensional printing is a popular term for additive manufacturing (AM) [1]. There are many definitions of AM in use. RP is a blanket term for a number of technologies used for manufacturing precision parts (prototypes) directly from their digital models, in a short time frame and with low human intervention [3]. AM can be applied in the manufacturing of monoliths, which are systems comprising functional microchannels with a regular three-dimensional structure They can replace conventional catalysts and chemical reactors while helping to overcome multiple problems posed by traditional systems. This technology helps to produce catalysts with the desired properties. Production of physical objects by 3D printing is a process of several stages. Digital model, conversion of the model to the STL (Stereolithography) format, model verification, and preparation of the printing instruction file) and the operations of producing the physical object
