Abstract:
The present invention relates to a reactor for the decomposition of ammonium dinitramide-based liquid monopropellants into hot, combustible gases for combustion in a combustion chamber, and more particularly a rocket engine or thruster comprising such reactor and a combustion chamber. The invention also relates to a process for the decompostion of ammonium dinitramide-based liquid monopropellants.
Abstract:
A stable suspension of particles of a metal belonging to the platinum group consists of a microemulsion in which the particles are suspended. The suspension is prepared by dissolving a metal salt in a microemulsion, and reducing the salt to form a metal.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a catalyst for cleaning the exhaust gases from internal combustion engines, especially diesel engines, comprising a monolithic body having longitudinally extending, open throughchannels coated with a surface-enlarging washcoat layer which contains one or more catalytically active precious metals. In order to reduce the tendency of the catalyst to oxidize and absorb (be enriched with) sulphur dioxide, the washcoat layer of the catalyst is based on silicon carbide and is substantially free from aluminum oxide. A method for preparing the catalyst, the use of the catalyst, as well as an exhaust gas cleaning system and a motor vehicle equipped with the catalyst, are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Preparation of sintering resistant hexaaluminates, AAl11O18, wherein A is an alka-line earth or rare earth metal, and more particularly lanthanum, by a combination of sol-gel and microemulsion techniques using a water soluble salt of A, and a method of forming spherical pellets thereof are disclosed.
