Abstract:
A catalyst reactor system for reducing the amount of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons in a gaseous stream which comprises a first bed consisting essentially of 7-20 weight percent copper oxide and 0.01-5 weight percent palladium, said copper oxide and palladium being co-impregnated on an inorganic oxide support comprising at least 50 percent by weight alumina and a second bed comprising 0.01-5 percent by weight palladium supported on a porous inorganic oxide support.
Abstract:
This disclosure concerns the demetalization and desulfurization of metal and sulfur containing petroleum oils, preferably those containing residua hydrocarbon components, through the use of a catalyst comprising a hydrogenating component composited on a refractory base, preferably an alumina, whose pores are substantially distributed over a narrow 180A to 300A diameter range.
Abstract:
A hydrocracking catalyst composition comprising a mixture of (1) a hydrogenation component deposited on a crystalline aluminosilicate, and (2) a matrix material impregnated with a hydrogenation component, a method for making the same comprising impregnating the matrix component with a diphase medium consisting of hydrogenation metals present as finely divided precipitate in a salt solution, or a medium consisting of a solution of hydrogenation metals, and admixing the resultant wet mix with a component as defined in (1), and hydrocracking in the presence thereof.
Abstract:
A highly active, stable and sulfur-resistant catalyst composition useful for substantially reducing the amount of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxide and other noxious components in a gaseous stream is provided. Said catalyst composition comprises a specific refractory support material selected from the group consisting of (1) an alumina having a particle density of from about 0.3 to about 1.5 g/cc, a packed density of from about 0.2 to about 0.8 g/cc and a surface area of from about 10 to about 300 m2/g and (2) a monolithic ceramic having an external surface area of from about 100 to about 900 ft2/ft3, a bulk density of from about 10 to about 50 lb/ft3 and from about 2 to about 500 channels per square inch, said refractory support material having deposited thereon from about 0.01 to about 10 weight percent palladium and from about 0.05 to about 20 weight percent metal selected from the group consisting of rare earth, iron, manganese and zinc. The catalyst composition of this invention is effective at lower catalyst bed temperatures than other similar compositions, thus making it valuable when said gaseous stream is the exhaust effluent of an internal combustion engine during low-temperature operation, e.g. engine start-up. The catalyst composition also has excellent stability to aging in internal combustion engine exhaust effluent, even when the fuel to said engine contains up to 1000 ppm sulfur.
