Abstract:
Provided is a catalyst that is free from catalyst deactivation caused by reaction of the support and exhibits good catalytic activity in an ammonia synthesis reaction in a low-temperature, low-pressure process. The present invention relates to an ammonia synthesis catalyst having a structure in which at least one of ruthenium or an oxide of ruthenium is loaded on a titanium suboxide support represented by the composition formula TiOx where x represents a number satisfying 1.5
Abstract:
The invention provides a polycondensation catalyst for producing polyester by an esterification reaction or a transesterification reaction of a dicarboxylic acid or an ester-forming derivative thereof and a glycol, wherein the polycondensation catalyst comprises particles of a water-insoluble or hardly water-soluble phosphate having on the surfaces a coating layer of titanic acid in an amount, of 0.1 to 100 parts by weight in terms of TiO2 per 100 parts by weight of the phosphate.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method for producing polyester comprising: a step for preparing an oligomer comprising a dicarboxylic acid diester by an esterification reaction or a transesterification reaction between a dicarboxylic acid or an ester-forming derivative thereof and a glycol, and then a step for subjecting the oligomer to melt-polycondensation to provide polyester as melt-polycondensate, wherein at least in the step of subjecting the oligomer to melt-polycondensation of the two steps, the oligomer is subjected to melt-polycondensation in the presence of titanium nitride and, as a polycondensation catalyst, particles of a solid base having a coating layer of titanic acid on the surfaces, thereby to provide polyester as melt-polycondensate.
Abstract:
The invention provides a polycondensation catalyst for producing polyester by an esterification reaction or a transesterification reaction between a dicarboxylic acid or an ester-forming derivative thereof and a glycol, wherein the polycondensation catalyst comprises particles of a solid base having on the surfaces an inner coating layer of titanic acid in an amount of from 0.1 to 50 parts by weight in terms of TiO2 per 100 parts by weight of the solid base, and an outer coating layer either of an oxide of at least one element selected from aluminum, zirconium and silicon, or of a composite oxide of at least two elements selected from aluminum, zirconium and silicon on the surface of the inner coating layer in an amount of from 1 to 50 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the solid base.
