Abstract: A method for treating the waste stream from a purified terephthalic acid (PTA) process is provided. The method comprises contacting a waste stream containing carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and methyl bromide with a catalyst comprising a first base metal catalyst supported on an oxygen donating support that is substantially free of alumina, and at least one second base metal catalyst.

Abstract: A catalyst for oxidizing carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and methyl bromide (CH3Br) is provided. The catalyst comprises a first base metal catalyst supported on an oxygen donating support that is substantially free of alumina, and at least one second base metal catalyst. Also provided is a method for treating the waste stream from a purified terephthalic acid (PTA) process, the method comprising contacting a waste stream containing carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and methyl bromide with a catalyst comprising a first base metal catalyst supported on an oxygen donating support that is substantially free of alumina, and at least one second base metal catalyst.

Abstract: Catalysts are provided that are capable of use at low temperatures (<80° C.) to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in an enclosed space. The catalyst is combined with an adsorbent to form a catalytic article. Methods of manufacturing catalytic articles are described in which the catalyst is mixed with discrete particles of adsorbent or supported directly on the adsorbent.

Abstract: A catalyst for the oxidation of volatile organic compounds and carbon monoxide comprising manganese and alumina, such catalyst having been impregnated with a phosphorus compound. The presence of the phosphorus compound results in a significant oxidative conversion of both the volatile organic compounds and the carbon monoxide. The catalyst is especially useful for treating gaseous streams that emanate from industrial sources, such as wood pulp manufacturing plants. The manganese portion of the catalyst is preferably comprised of manganese compounds comprising a defect non-stoichiometric manganese oxide of the type ?-Mn3O4+x, wherein x has the value of 0.1?x?0.25 in respect to about 80 to about 95% of all manganese atoms, and manganese aluminate in respect to the balance of the manganese atoms. The alumina portion of the catalyst is preferably comprised of high temperature forms of alumina of the type comprising ?-Al2O3 and (?+?+?)-Al2O3.

Abstract: A stabilized metal promoted aluminosilicate zeolite, useful in the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides with ammonia, having a silica to alumina mole ratio of at least 8 and less than 30 and an FT-IR absorption peak at 3781 plus or minus 2 cm?1 which stabilizes the zeolite against further dealumination such as under oxidizing and harsh hydrothermal conditions.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a metal-promoted zeolite beta catalyst useful in the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides with ammonia in which the zeolite beta is pre-treated so as to provide the zeolite with improved hydrothermal stability. The stabilized beta zeolite is provided by incorporating into the zeolite structure non-framework aluminum oxide chains. The aluminum oxide chains can be incorporated into the zeolite structure by a unique steaming regimen or by treatment with rare earth metals, such as cerium. The treatment process is unlike well-known methods of dealuminizing zeolites for the purpose of increasing the silica to alumina ratio. In the present invention, the non-framework aluminum oxide is characterized by FT-IR by a peak at 3781±2 cm?1, which when present, stabilizes the zeolite against further dealumination such as under oxidizing and harsh hydrothermal conditions.
