20080280751 | Method of preparing carbon nanotube containing electrodes - The present teachings are directed toward a matrix containing nanosized metal components and carbon nanotubes, with the carbon nanotubes being produced in situ by the nanosized metal components upon the contacting of the nanosized metal components with a carbon source under conditions sufficient to produce the carbon nanotubes. Also disclosed are methods of producing the matrix containing the nanosized metal components and carbon nanotubes. | 11-13-2008 |

20090163355 | RF NON-THERMAL PLASMA TECHNIQUES FOR CATALYST DEVELOPMENT TO IMPROVE PROCESS EFFICIENCIES - Plasma modifications of catalyst supports before and after impregnation of metal precursors improve the activity, selectivity and stability of catalysts, e.g. Ni catalysts for benzene hydrogenation and Pd catalysts for selective hydrogenation of acetylene. Plasma modification of the support before impregnation is slightly more effective than the plasma modification after impregnation. However, plasma modifications after impregnation increase the stability and selectivity of catalysts more effectively. The economic benefit of much improved stability of Ni catalysts for hydrogenation of benzene and the enhanced activity and selectivity of Pd catalysts for acetylene hydrogenation, e.g., is significant. Similar benefits for various catalysts and other industrial processes via RF plasma techniques are expected. | 06-25-2009 |
20090286671 | Process for Preparing a Support for Olefin Polymerization Catalysts - The invention relates to a process for preparing an essentially spherical support for olefin polymerization catalysts, which comprises the steps: preparation of a hydrogel comprising a cogel of silicon oxide and at least one further metal oxide, if appropriate, washing of the hydrogel until the content of alkali metal ions is less than 0.1% by weight, based on the weight of solids, extraction of the water from the hydrogel until the water content is less than 5% by weight, based on the total content of liquid, and drying of the hydrogel to form a xerogel. According to the invention, the extraction step comprises at least one batchwise extraction with an organic solvent which is at least partially miscible with water down to a water content of less than 50% by weight, followed by at least one continuous extraction with an organic solvent which is at least partially miscible with water. | 11-19-2009 |
20120178616 | CATALYST HAVING METAL IN REDUCED QUANTITY AND REDUCED CLUSTER SIZE - The invention contemplates a method of making a catalytic material, and uses of the material. The catalytic material is made by depositing catalytic metals, such as gold or platinum, on substrate materials, such as lanthanum-doped ceria or other oxides. The catalytic metal, which comprises both crystalline and non-crystalline structures, is treated, for example with aqueous basic NaCN solution, to leach away at least some of the crystalline metallic component. The remaining noncrystalline metallic component associated with the substrate exhibits catalytic activity that is substantially similar to the catalyst as prepared. The use of the catalyst in an apparatus such as a reactor or analytic instrument is contemplated, as is the use of the catalyst in efficient, cost-effective reactions, such as removal of carbon monoxide from fuel gases, for example by performing the water gas shift reaction. | 07-12-2012 |
20140024523 | Process for Producing Molecular Sieve Materials - In a process for producing a molecular sieve material, water, at least one source of an oxide of a tetravalent and/or a trivalent element and at least one structure directing agent is mixed in a reactor equipped with a mixer having a Froude number of at least 1, to produce a molecular sieve synthesis mixture having a solids content of at least about 20 wt %. The molecular sieve synthesis mixture is heated in the reactor while agitating the mixture with said mixer to form crystals of said molecular sieve material and the molecular sieve crystals are subsequently recovered from the reactor. | 01-23-2014 |
