Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the heterogenically catalysed gas-phase partial oxidation of precursor compounds of (meth)acrylic acid in a fixed catalyst bed, containing as the catalyst an activated mass of mixed oxide, shaped to form a geometric body. Said geometric body is a geometric base body, into whose surface a cavity is incorporated.
Abstract:
A catalyst comprising a mixed metal oxide is useful for the vapor phase oxidation of an alkane or a mixture of an alkane and an alkene to an unsaturated carboxylic acid and for the vapor phase ammoxidation of an alkane or a mixture of an alkane and an alkene to an unsaturated nitrile.
Abstract:
A gel composition substantially contained within the pores of a solid material is disclosed for use as a catalyst or as a catalyst support in dehydrogenation and dehydrocyclization processes.
Abstract:
A structure directing agent is removed from a microporous solid at a temperature below the temperature that would cause the structure directing agent to decompose by cleaving the structure directing agent within the pores of the microporous solid, at a temperature below the temperature that would cause the structure directing agent to decompose, into two or more fragments and removing the fragments from the pores of the microporous solid at a temperature below the temperature that would cause the structure directing agent or its fragments to decompose.
Abstract:
One aspect of the present invention relates to a catalytic compound of anion-modified metal oxides doped with metal ions. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of isomerizing an alkane or alkyl moiety.
Abstract:
A method for producing a hydrorefining catalyst has the steps of preparing an impregnation solution containing molybdenum, phosphorus, cobalt and/or nickel, and citric acid, bringing a carrier into contact with the impregnation solution, and then calcinating the carrier in an oxidizing atmosphere at a temperature at which citric acid is removed. In the impregnation solution, a molar ratio of molybdenum/phosphorus is 6 to 13, a molar ratio of (cobalt and nickel)/phosphorus is 0.5 to 7, and a molar ratio of (cobalt and nickel)/citric acid is 0.5 to 2. As for the hydrorefining catalyst obtained by this method, the activity of the catalyst is high, and the catalyst life is long.
Abstract:
A mixed metal oxide, which may be an orthorhombic phase material, is improved as a catalyst for the production of unsaturated carboxylic acids, or unsaturated nitrites, from alkanes, or mixtures of alkanes and alkenes, by: contacting with a liquid contacting member selected from the group consisting of organic acids, alcohols, inorganic acids and hydrogen peroxide to form a contact mixture; recovering insoluble material from the contact mixture; and calcining the recovered insoluble material in a non-oxidizing atmosphere.
Abstract:
Hydrothermally synthesized catalysts comprising a mixed metal oxide are utilized to produce unsaturated carboxylic acids by the vapor phase oxidation of an alkane, or a mixture of an alkane and an alkene, in the presence thereof; or to produce unsaturated nitrites by the vapor phase oxidation of an alkane, or a mixture of an alkane and an alkene, and ammonia in the presence thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention concern, a method for enhancing the activity of vanadium phosphorus oxide (VPO) catalysts. Promoter reagents are grafted onto or reacted with the catalyst surface. An optional calcination and activation heating cycle transforms the catalyst precursor into a final active phase. A preferred VPO catalyst produced has a ratio of molybdenum to vanadium on the surface of the catalyst to molybdenum to vanadium in the overall bulk of the catalyst represented by the equation (Mo/V) Surfacenull1.10 (Mo/V) overall bulk.
Abstract:
This invention is directed to a hardened molecular sieve catalyst composition, a method of making the composition and a method of using the composition. The catalyst composition is made by mixing together molecular sieve, liquid, and an effective hardening amount of a dried molecular sieve catalyst to form a slurry. The slurry is dried, and then calcined to form the hardened molecular sieve catalyst composition. The hardened molecular sieve catalyst is highly attrition resistant.
