Abstract:
A trimetallic acidic catalytic composite, comprising a combination of catalytically effective amounts of a platinum or palladium component, a rhodium component, a tin component and a halogen component with a porous carrier material, is disclosed. The principal utility of this composite is in the conversion of hydrocarbons, particularly in the reforming of a gasoline fraction. A specific example of the disclosed catalytic composite is a combination of catalytically effective amounts of a platinum component, a rhodium component, a tin component and a chloride component with an alumina carrier material.
Abstract:
Catalysts of noble metals on activated carbon are subjected to the action of a sulfoxide together with hydrazine or its derivatives. The catalysts are particularly useful in the selective hydrogenation of chloronitro aromatic compounds.
Abstract:
A process for depositing a noble metal catalyst on an oxide support material comprising contacting the support material with an alkaline solution of complex noble metal-amine cations under prescribed pH conditions is disclosed. The process is particularly suitable for depositing catalysts on monolithic honeycomb support structures because the catalyst dispersions produced thereby are extremely uniform on the interior channel walls of the structure.
Abstract:
This invention is a catalytic system for internal combustion engines. More specifically, this invention is a catalytic system which comprises cobalt oxide and optionally additional oxides of nickel, promoted with palladium and supported on a suitable support material as a catalyst for nitrogen oxide conversion.
Abstract:
The instant invention relates to a novel hydrocarbon conversion catalyst and its uses in hydrocarbon conversion processes. The novel catalyst of the instant invention comprises platinum, iridium and rhodium on an inorganic support. Preferably, the catalyst comprises from 0.1 to 1.0 wt. % platinum, from 0.1 to 1.0 wt. % iridium, and from 0.05 to 0.5 wt. % rhodium present on the surface of the support in the form of highly dispersed polymetallic clusters. The catalyst of this invention is especially useful in reforming of naphtha.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of a supported iridium catalyst by the contacting of, for example, an alumina support with a liquid medium containing a compound of iridium while maintaining the iridium-containing liquid medium at a pH of from 3 to 6 with an ammonium hydroxide or lower alkyl amine base. The catalyst is particularly useful in a reforming process.
Abstract:
A method for treating platinum or palladium catalyzed porous ceramic burning pads of the type used in flameless gas heating and lighting devices. Certain catalytic substances such as thorium, alumina and silica-alumina, as well as combinations of these materials when combined with platinum or palladium, afford improved catalysts for porous ceramic burning pads of the type described above. Pads so treated reduce the carbon monoxide emissions from devices using these pads.
Abstract:
Production of a catalyst comprised of a fine-particulate carrier and palladium metal for the partial dehalogenation of di- and/or trichloracetic acids in the presence of hydrogen to produce monochloracetic acid, wherein the dry porous carrier is impregnated with a palladium salt solution and the palladium absorbed by the carrier is reduced to palladium metal with the use of a suitable reducing agent. More particularly the palladium metal is concentrated exclusively on the surface of the carrier by impregnating and partially saturating the dry, fineparticulate carrier with the pure palladium salt solvent; by continuing impregnation until complete saturation of the carrier so pretreated with the necessary quantity of palladium salt solution; and by reducing the palladium salt applied to the carrier to palladium in known manner.
Abstract:
THE PRESENT INVENTION IS CONCERNED WITH CATALYSTS IN WHICH THE ACTIVE COMPONENTS ARE HIGHLY DISPERSED AND STABLE NOBLE METALS. IN ONE SPECIFIC ASPECT, THE INVENTION DEALS WITH CATALYST USEFUL IN THE REDUCTION OR ELIMINATION OF NOXIOUS COMPONENTS IN AUTO EXHAUST GASES. IN ANOTHER SPECIFIC ASPECT, THE INVENTION DEALS WITH THE STABILIZATION OF NOBLE METALS BY SELECTED SUPPORTS.
