Abstract:
A catalyst composition and a process for using it to decompose nitrous oxide into nitrogen and oxygen are disclosed. The catalyst composition has surface area of about 1 to about 200 m2/g after exposure to a calcination temperature of between about 4000C and about 9000C, or about 1 to about 100 m2/g after exposure to a calcination temperature of between about 400 0C and about 95O°C.
Abstract:
The invention includes an apparatus and process for the catalytic production of HCN from a feed gas of ammonia and a hydrocarbon gas by means of heat tubes supplying heat to the feed gas stream and heat tubes for removal of heat from the products. The invention further includes a process for N 2 O abatement comprising transferring heat from an exothermic N 2 O degradation reaction through a heat pipe.
Abstract:
These disclosures relate to preparing nickel metal (Ni(0)) suited for use in catalyst systems, such as nickel complexes with phosphorus-containing ligands, useful to catalyze the hydrocyanation of ethylenically unsaturated compounds. The methods described herein can include use of steam during reduction of nickel.
