摘要:
A process for the production of an alumina based catalyst carrier in which a fired carrier body is impregnated with a source of titania in a liquid medium that upon heating yields titania and then calcined to generate titania uniformly dispersed in the carrier in an amount up to about 10% by weight.

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.

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:
A thermal energy storage apparatus capable of storing large quantities of heat uses a plurality of energy storage zones having essentially the same thermal energy storage capacity per zone. The flow of a fluid into each zone is separately and independently controlled thereby creating a modular system that is capable of responding to rapid changes in the supply of and/or demand for thermal energy.
摘要:
A method of forming a carrier material suited to use in Fischer-Tropsch reactions includes forming a dispersion of first and second hydrated alumina materials in a liquid dispersant, such as an acid solution. The first alumina can be derived from an alkali aluminate, such as is formed in the Bayer reaction. The second hydrated alumina can be derived from high purity aluminum, such as via conversion to an alkoxide. The dispersion is spray dried to form particles which are heat treated to form a carrier material having low levels of impurities.
