摘要： The invention describes microchannel apparatus and catalysts that contain a layer of a metal aluminide or are made in a process in which a metal aluminide layer is formed as an intermediate. Certain processing conditions have surprisingly been found to result in superior coatings. The invention includes chemical processes conducted through apparatus described in the specification. Other catalysts and catalyst synthesis techniques are also described.

摘要： The invention describes microchannel reactors comprising a metal substrate having an alumina-layer, such as aluminide and catalyst metal particles directly disposed thereon, such as via thermal-growth. The catalyst may comprise a Pt/Sn atomic ratio of 1:4. Cross-flow, post-assembly and channels of complex, continuous or interior nature may be used. Methods of making catalysts in a microreactor channel, methods of making catalysts as such, methods of making a microchannel reactor and methods of conducting chemical reactions such as oxidative dehydrogenations and conversion of ethane to ethylene are also described. Superior performance, especially for high temperature reactions at high flow rates and low contact times, can be obtained from a catalyst formed by directly depositing a catalytic material onto a low surface area thermally-grown alumina layer, said layer preferably grown at a temperature from 1000-1100°C. The alumina layer is to be dense and substantially defect-free.

摘要： A new electroless plating approach to generate a porous metallic coating is described in which a metal is electrolessly deposited on a surface. Microparticles in the metal are removed to leave pores in the metal coating. Another method of forming electroless coatings is described in which a blocking ligand is attached to the surface, followed by a second coating step. The invention includes coatings and coated apparatus formed by methods of the invention. The invention also includes catalyst structures comprising a dense substrate and a porous metal adhered to the dense substrate, which is further characterized by one or more of the specified features.
