Abstract:
Method for the depression of soot formation during combustion of fuel rich hydrocarbons in a combustion chamber by applying an electrostatic field in the combustion chamber by means of one or more electrodes at least a portion of the electrodes extend into the chamber, wherein the portion of the electrodes extending into the chamber comprises porous ceramic material.
Abstract:
Process for the mono alkylation of a hydrocarbon substrate containing aromatic hydrocarbon compounds comprising contacting the aromatic substrate with an alkylating agent consisting of a mixture of olefinic compounds and poly-alkylated aromatic compounds in presence of a fluorinated sulphonic acid.
Abstract:
Hydrotreating catalyst containing one or more metal oxides and/or sulphides selected from Group VI-B and Group VIII of the Periodic Table supported on a porous refractory carrier, wherein the catalyst being in form of an angular extrudate with rounded edges.
Abstract:
A method for generating a solution containing rhodium at a concentration of at least 0.01 M and preferably at least 0.20 M, comprising treating solid rhodium iodide or other solid source of rhodium with a reducing agent selected from a source of hydrazine, hydrazine hydrate, hydrazinium salts, organic derivatives of hydrazine, hypophosphorous acid and salts of hypophosphorous acid.
Abstract:
A process for producing a catalyst, comprising the steps of modifying a carrier by a first impregnation with at least one alkaline earth metal in a first metal precursor solution, the first metal precursor being decomposed to form at least one metal oxide or metal hydroxide, thereby obtaining a modified carrier. A second impregnation is carried out by incipient wetness by a second precursor solution comprising at least one metal Me in a second solution. Finally, the second precursor is decomposed, thereby obtaining a catalyst body having an enrichment of the at least one metal Me in the outer shell of the catalyst body, the metal being present in a concentration having either as an egg-shell profile or a hammock profile.
