Abstract:
The process comprises contacting a mineral lubricating oil distillate in a first reaction zone with a sulfactive hydrogenation catalyst in the presence of hydrogen and under hydrogenation and desulfurization conditions to produce a desulfurized product and contacting said desulfurized product in a second reaction zone with the catalytic composition of the invention in the presence of hydrogen and under selected conditions. The catalytic composition comprises a Group VIII noble metal deposited upon a large-pore-diameter alumina.
Abstract:
Dehydrogenatable hydrocarbons are dehydrogenated by contacting them at dehydrogenation conditions with a multicomponent catalytic composite comprising a combination of catalytically effective amounts of a platinum group component, a tin component, a germanium component and an alkali or alkaline earth component with a porous carrier material. A specific example of the catalytic composite disclosed herein is a combination of a platinum group component, a tin component, a germanium component and an alkali or alkaline earth component with a porous carrier material wherein substantially all of the platinum group component is present as the elemental metal and substantially all of the germanium component is present in an oxidation state above the elemental metal, wherein the composite contains about 0.01 to about 2 wt. % of platinum group metal, about 0.01 to about 5 wt. % tin, about 0.01 to about 5 wt. % germanium and about 0.01 to about 5 wt. % alkali or alkaline earth metal.
Abstract:
In the production of silver-based supported catalysts for the oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide, the gases evolved during heating to decompose the silver salts used to impregnate the support are recycled through the catalyst together with nitrogen and then nitrogen containing oxygen.
Abstract:
A method of producing a substrate having a particulate coating of high surface area to mass ratio, said method comprising in sequence the steps of: I. disposing between a substrate and an intermediate body a mixture comprising: A. hard particles which are harder than the substrate and are harder than the intermediate body, and B. soft particles which are softer than the hard particles and are softer than the substrate, II. compressing the substrate and intermediate body, with particles therebetween whereby the intermediate body pushes the hard particles into the substrate, and III. removing the intermediate body from the particles leaving the hard particles embedded in the substrate and the soft particles adhering to the substrate. The coated substrates produced by the process of the present invention find utility as catalytic devices to accelerate or retard chemical reactions.

Abstract:
The catalyst comprises a component having hydrogenationdehydrogenation activity, a suitable support, and as a promoter a small amount of technetium. The support may comprise alumina and the component having hydrogenation-dehydrogenation activity and dehydrocyclization activity may be a Group VIII noble metal or a metal from Group VIA of the Periodic Table of Elements. The small amount of technetium is about 0.01 to about 2 weight percent, based on the weight of the catalyst. The process comprises contacting a petroleum hydrocarbon stream in a reforming zone under suitable reforming conditions and in the presence of hydrogen with a catalyst of the invention.

Abstract:
A film of a noble metal is deposited on the surface of a carrier without substantial penetration of the carrier by immersing the carrier first in a dilute solution of a salt of the noble metal, removing the carrier and heating and drying it to produce precipitation cores of the noble metal on the surface of the carrier, and then immersing the carrier with the precipitation cores in a solution of a noble metal salt which also contains a reducing agent for the salt and a stabilizer for the solution. The film of noble metal thus produced on the surface is adherent thereto and is highly active as a catalyzer for removing pollutants from the exhaust gas of an automobile.
