Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for producing a catalyst for the oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide, which comprises a) providing a support which comprises alumina and has been impregnated with silver or with a silver-comprising compound and has a temperature T0; and b) heating the impregnated support from the temperature T0 to a temperature T1 at a heating rate of at least 30 K/min, and also the catalyst itself which can be obtained by this process.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a shaped catalyst body for preparing ethylene oxide, which comprises at least silver and rhenium applied to an alumina support, and also to a process for producing it, wherein the alumina support has the geometry of a hollow cylinder and the shaped catalyst body has a rhenium content CR and CR/ppm by weight, based on the wall thickness of the hollow cylinder dW in mm, and calculated as element, in the range 120≦CR/dW≦200.
Abstract:
Proposed is a process for preparing isocyanates by dissociating the corresponding carbamates, which comprises dissociating the carbamates in the presence of a heterogeneous Lewis-acidic catalyst.
