Abstract:
Hollow porous metal oxide microspheres are provided. The microspheres may be used as a support for a catalyst, particularly an exhaust treatment catalyst for an internal combustion engine. Also provided are methods of making the microspheres, methods of using the microspheres as catalyst supports, and methods of exhaust treatment using catalyst articles comprising the microspheres.
Abstract:
This application discloses catalysts and methods of making the catalysts. In one embodiment, a catalyst comprising: a reduced precious group metal in an amount greater than about 30 wt % based on the total precious group metal weight in the catalyst, wherein the catalyst oxidizes volatile organic compounds and/or carbon monoxide at a temperature of about 150° C. or lower, is disclosed. In another embodiment, a catalyst for oxidation of formaldehyde, methanol, formic acid, and/or carbon monoxide to form carbon dioxide at a temperature of from about 20° C. to about 45° C. and at about atmospheric pressure, the catalyst comprising: a reduced precious group metal dispersed on a support selected from the group consisting of CeO2, TiO2, ZrO2, Al2O3, SiO2, and combinations thereof, is disclosed.
