Abstract:
The apparatus described is intended for the treatment of small volumes of room air for the removal of odors. Since the ozone output of the apparatus is calibrated in terms of the readily measured corona current, this type of apparatus can be intelligently applied to odor control problems. If the volume to be treated is known, then the output in mg/hr necessary to produce ozone backgrounds of 0.04 ppm and below can be readily computed. Such concentrations are comparable to the natural background and generally acceptable for continuous human occupation.
Abstract:
A new catalyst is disclosed, which contains platinum, iridium and niobium on an alumina carrier. This catalyst may be used for hydrocarbon conversion, for example reforming, at 450*-600*C. High octane ratings and hydrogen yields are obtained.
Abstract:
A catalyst bed unit employing measured amounts of cobalt in conjunction with platinum forms the fuel reactive catalyst of the unit to render the heater with which the unit is associated capable of operation at low carbon monoxide emission levels. The catalyst is applied to the support therefor by dissolving chloroplatanic acid and cobalt nitrate in a solution of methanol and water, spraying the mixture onto the support, and heating the unit to reduce the chloroplatanic acid and cobalt nitrate to platinum and cobalt metals.
Abstract:
A CATALYST OF 0.01-5% PT ON A REFRACTORY SUPPORT, CONTAINS ALSO 0.01-5% WT. OF TA OR NB. THE SUPPORT IS PREFERABLY ALUMINA WHICH MAY CONTAIN HALOGEN. THE TA OR NB MAY BE ADDED AT ANY CONVENIENT STAGE IN THE CATALYST PREPARATION, INCLUDING ADDING IT AS A CHLORIDE OR FLUORIDE DURING THE PREPARATION OF THE SUPPORT. THE PT-TA OR PT-NB CATALYSTS MAY BE USED FOR HYDROCARBON CONVERSION, PARTICULARLY REFORMING ISOMERIZATION, HYDROCRACKING, AND HYDROGENATION.
Abstract:
DEHYDROGENATABLE HYDROCARBONS ARE DEHYDROGENATED BY CONTACTING THEM AT DEHYDROGENATABLE CONDITIONS WITH A CATALYTIC COMPOSITE COMPRISING A COMBINATION OF CATALYTICALLY EFFECTIVE AMOUNTS OF A PLATINUM GROUP COMPONENT, A GERMANIUM COMPONENT, AND AN ALKALI OR ALKALINE EARTH METAL WITH A POROUS CARRIER MATERIAL. A SPECIFIC EXAMPLE OF THE CATALYTIC COMPOSITE DISCLOSED HEREIN IS A COMBINATION OF A PLATINUM COMPONENT, A GERMANIUM COMPONENT, AND AN ALKALI OR ALKALINE EARTH COMPONENT WITH AN ALUMINA CARRIER MATERIAL WHEREIN THE COMPONENTS ARE PRESENT IN AMOUNTS SUFFICIENT TO RESULT IN THE COMPOSITE CONTAINING, ON AN ELEMENTAL BASIS, 0.01 TO 2 WT. PERCENT PLATINUM 0.01 TO 5 WT. PERCENT GERMANIUM, AND 0.1 TO 5 WT. PERCENT OF THE ALKALI OR ALKALINE EARTH METAL.
Abstract:
A trimetallic acidic catalytic composite, comprising a combination of catalytically effective amounts of a platinum or palladium component, an iridium component, a germanium component and a halogen component with a porous carrier material, is disclosed. The principal utility of this composite is in the conversion of hydrocarbons, particularly in the reforming of a gasoline fraction. A specific example of the disclosed catalytic composite is a combination of catalytically effective amounts of a platinum component, an iridium component, a germanium component, and a chloride component with an alumina carrier material.
Abstract:
A METHOD OF PREPARING A SELECTIVE CATALYST COMPRISING DEPOSITING A CATALYTICALLY ACTIVE MATERIAL IN A POROUS SUPPORT, POLYMERIZING AN ALCOHOL TO FORM A LIQUID POLYMER RESIN, COATING THE SUPPORTED CATALYTICALLY ACTIVE MATERIAL WITH A LAYER OF THE LIQUID RESIN, CURING AND CARBONIZING THE RESIN COATING IN AN INERT ATMOSPHERE AND, THEREAFTER, SUBJECTING THE SO-PREPARED CATALYST TO A POISONING TREATMENT BY A MATERIAL HAVING MOLECULES TOO LARGE TO ENTER THE PORES OF THE SO-PREPARED CATALYST TO A POISONING TREATMENT MATERIAL OTHER THAN THAT IN THE PORES IN RENDERED INACTIVE SO AS TO RETAIN THE SELECTIVE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CATALYST.
Abstract:
A CATALYTIC COMPOSITE COMPRISING A COMBINATION OF A PLATINUM GROUP COMPONENT, A RHENIUM COMPONENT, A GROUP I-B COMPONENT AND A TIN COMPONENT WITH A POROUS CARRIER MATERIAL IS DISCLOSED. THE PRINCIPAL UTILITY OF THIS COMPOSITE IS IN THE CONVERSION OF HYDROCARBONS, PARTICULARLY IN THE REFORMING OF A GASOLINE FRACTION. A SPECIFIC EXAMPLE OF THE DISCLOSED CATALYTIC COMPOSITE IS A COMBINATION OF A PLATINUM COMPONENT, A RHENIUM COMPONENT, A TIN COMPONENT, A GOLD COMPONENT AND A HALOGEN COMPONENT WITH AN ALUMINA CARRIER MATERIAL IN AMOUNTS SUFFICIENT TO RESULT IN A COMPOSITE CONTAINING, ON AN ELEMENTAL BASIS, ABOUT 0.01 TO 2 WT. PERCENT PLATINUM, ABOUT 0.01 TO 2 WT. PERCENT RHENIUM, ABOUT 0.01 TO 5 WT. PERCENT TIN, ABOUT 0.01 TO ABOUT 5 WT. PERCENT GOLD AND ABOUT 0.1 TO 3.5 WT. PERCENT HALOGEN.
