Abstract:
An exhaust gas purification catalyst includes a composite oxide support, and a precious metal catalyst supported on the composite oxide support. The composite oxide support includes alumina, zirconia, ceria, a first additive element oxide and a second additive element oxide. The first additive element oxide contains an additive element selected from the group consisting of rare earth elements excluding cerium and alkali earth elements. The second additive element oxide contains an additive element selected from the group consisting of rare earth elements excluding cerium and alkali earth elements. In the composite oxide support, alumina is contained in a range of 30 to 40% by mass and zirconia is contained in a range of 36 to 46% by mass.
Abstract:
The present invention describes a chemical looping process for the oxidation of carbonaceous materials using an oxygen carrier comprised of a porous support and redox active sites characterized, in that said porous support is spherical; and said redox active sites are located at the surface of said porous support. The invention further describes an oxygen carrier, a method for producing such oxygen carrier and the use thereof in a chemical-looping process cycle.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a catalyst for C2 oxygenate synthesis in which a hydrogenated active metal is supported on a porous carrier to synthesize a C2 oxygenate from a mixed gas containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide, wherein the porous carrier has an average pore diameter of 0.1 to 20 nm.
Abstract:
Catalyst supports, supported catalysts, and a method of preparing and using the catalysts for the demetallation of metal-containing heavy oil feedstocks are disclosed. The catalyst supports comprise alumina and 5 wt% or less titania. Catalyst prepared from the supports have at least 30 to 80 volume percent of its pore volume in pores having a diameter of between 200 and 500 angstroms. Catalysts in accordance with the invention exhibit improved catalytic activity and stability to remove metals from heavy feedstocks during a hydroconversion process. The catalysts also exhibit increased sulfur and MCR conversion.
Abstract:
To provide a novel visible light-responsive photocatalyst or tungsten oxide visible light-responsive semiconductor improved in environmental resistance under an alkaline condition. The tungsten oxide visible light-responsive semiconductor unstable under an alkaline condition is improved in environmental resistance without losing photocatalytic function thereof by adding thereto at least one element selected from the group consisting of copper, tantalum, niobium, lanthanum, bismuth, calcium, chromium, manganese and zinc. The obtained environmental resistant visible light-responsive photocatalyst is subjected to an alkaline treatment to thereby be improved in photocatalytic activity.
Abstract:
A hydrogenation catalyst and process using the catalyst for converting a mixture comprising acetic acid and ethyl acetate to ethanol at a first temperature, and the catalyst desorbs ethyl acetate, in the absence of hydrogen, at a second temperature that is greater than the first temperature. The catalyst has a suitable chemisorption of ethyl acetate at the first temperature in the absence of hydrogen. In one embodiment, the first temperature ranges from 125°C to 350°C and the second temperature ranges from 300°C to 600°C. The catalyst comprises one or more active metals or oxide thereof on a support that comprises tungsten or an oxide thereof. The one or more active metals are selected from the group consisting of cobalt, copper, gold, iron, nickel, palladium, platinum, iridium, osmium, rhenium, rhodium, ruthenium, tin, zinc, lanthanum, cerium, manganese, chromium, vanadium, and molybdenum.

Abstract:
A solid catalyst comprising an effective amount of iridium and at least one second metal selected from gallium, zinc, indium and germanium associated with a solid support material is useful for vapor phase carbonylation to produce carboxylic acids and esters from alkyl alcohols, esters, ethers or ester-alcohol mixtures. The iridium and at least one second metal are deposited on a support material. In some embodiments of the invention, the catalyst is useful for vapor phase carbonylation.
