Disclosed is a population of ceramic particles that includes a plurality of individual, free flowing particles. The plurality has a total weight and particle size distribution. The effective width of the distribution is the difference between the distribution's d95 and d5 particle sizes. The distribution's effective width exceeds 100 microns and includes three abutting and non-overlapping regions that include a first region, a second region, and a third region. The first region abuts the second region and the second region abuts the third region. The width of the second region is at least 25% of the effective width. The weight of particles in the second region does not exceed 15% of the plurality of particle's total weight. The weight of particles in the first region and the third region each exceed the weight of particles in the second region. Methods of making the populations of ceramic particles are also disclosed.

摘要:
The selectivity and activity of a silver-based olefin epoxidation catalyst is found to be a function of the pore size distribution in the alumina carrier on which it is deposited. Specifically it is found advantageous to provide a carrier which has a minimum of very large pores, (greater than 10 micrometers) and a water absorption of 35 to 55% and a surface area of at least 1.0 m2/g. A method of making such carriers is also described.

摘要:
The invention provides media for absorption of phosphate and metal contaminants from a hydrocarbon stream and a method of making such media. The media comprise alumina with relatively minor amounts of calcia and magnesia and are made by a process in which the minor components or precursors of such components are dispersed in a gelled sol of a hydrated alumina such as boehmite.
