摘要:
This invention provides a catalyst composition for use in oxidative reactions at high temperatures e.g., the oxidation of exhaust gases from internal combustion engines, which catalyst comprises an at least substantially homogeneous mixture of aluinium oxide of cubic structure (i.e., of the gamma series) oxide of copper and chromium, and optionally at least one compound of at least one other element of Group IIa of the Periodic Table, the proportion of the aluminium xoide being from 20 percent to 45 percent by weight of total catalyst weight, together with said at least one other compound, expressed as oxide, the mole ratio of copper oxide to chromium oxide in the oxide of copper and chromium, expressed as CuO:Cr2O3, being from 1.2:1 to 2.2:1, and the majority of oxide of copper and chromium being of a size of from 0.5 to 5 Mu . The invention also provides a process for making such a catalyst.
摘要:
CATALYST COMPOSITIONS ARE PROVIDED CONTAINING ALUMINIUM OXIDE AND FROM 50% TO 90% BY WEIGHT OF OXIDE OF COPPER, CHROMIUM AND NICKEL, WHICH MAY OPTIONALLY BE DOPED WITH GROUP II-A METAL COMPOUNDS, THE OXIDE OF NICKEL AMOUNTING FROM 2% TO 20% BY WEIGHT OF THE CATALYST. THE CATALYSTS ARE MANUFACTURED BY MIXING POWDERED CALCINED OXIDE OF COPPER AND CHROMIUM WITH ALUMINIUM OXIDE OR ALUMINIUM OXIDE HYDRATE, FORMING CATALYST GRANULES FROM THE MIXTURE AND THEN IMPREGNATING THE GRANULES WITH A NICKEL COMPOUND WHICH ON CALCINATION WILL FORM THE CATALYST. THE CATALYSTS ARE USED IN THE OXIDATIVE PURIFICATION OF WASTE GASES PARTICULARLY MOTOR VEHICLE EXHAUST GASES.
