Abstract:
A catalyst for the selective oxidation of hydrogen has been developed. It comprises an inert core such as cordierite and an outer layer comprising a lithium aluminate support. The support has dispersed thereon a platinum group metal and a promoter metal, e.g. platinum and tin respectively. This catalyst is particularly effective in the selective oxidation of hydrogen in a dehydrogenation process.
Abstract:
A catalyst useful for the production of olefins from alkanes via oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) is disclosed. The catalyst includes a silicon carbide support. The catalyst may optionally include a base metal, metal oxide, or combination thereof. A base metal is herein defined as a non-Group VIII metal, with the exception of iron, cobalt and nickel. Suitable base metals include Group IB-VIIB metals, Group IIIA-VA metals, Lanthanide metals, iron, cobalt and nickel. Suitable metal oxides include alumina, stabilized aluminas, zirconia, stabilized zirconias (PSZ), titania, ytteria, silica, niobia, and vanadia. Additionally, the catalyst may optionally include a Group VIII promoter. Suitable Group VIII promoters include Ru, Rh, Pd, Os, Ir, and Pt.

Abstract:
A method for converting light hydrocarbons (e.g. methane or natural gas) to synthesis gas employs a silicon carbide-supported catalyst that catalyzes a net partial oxidation reaction. Certain preferred catalysts include a catalytically active metal disposed on a silicon carbide support.
Abstract:
A silicon carbide-based porous material containing silicon carbide particles (1) as an aggregate and metallic silicon (2), wherein the average particle diameter of the silicon carbide-based porous material is at least 0.25 time the average particle diameter of the silicon carbide particles (1), or the contact angle between the silicon carbide particles (1) and the metallic silicon (2) is acute, or a large number of secondary texture particles each formed by contact of at least four silicon carbide particles (1) with one metallic silicon (2) are bonded to each other to form a porous structure. This silicon carbide-based porous material can be sintered, in its production, at a relatively low firing temperature and, therefore, can be provided at a low production cost, at a high yield and at a low product cost.
