Abstract: The present invention relates to a catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxide, the catalyst comprising a first coating comprising a 12-membered ring pore zeolitic material comprising a first metal which is one or more of copper and iron, and a second coating comprising an 8-membered ring pore zeolitic material comprising a second metal which is one or more of copper and iron.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing a catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxide comprising, among other steps, preparing a second aqueous mixture comprising water and an iron salt; and disposing the second mixture on the substrate obtained according to (ii), comprising a coating comprising a zeolitic material comprising copper, over y % of the substrate axial length from the inlet end to the outlet end of the substrate, wherein y is in the range of from 10 to x, obtaining a substrate comprising, in a first zone, the coating comprising a zeolitic material comprising copper and over y % of the substrate axial length an iron salt; and, if x > y, in a second zone extending from y % to x % of the substrate axial length from the inlet end to the outlet end, the coating comprising a zeolitic material comprising copper.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous suspension comprising water, a source of one or more of a vanadium oxide and a tungsten oxide, and particles of an oxidic support; wherein the particles of the aqueous suspension exhibit a polymodal particle size distribution characterized by a particle size distribution curve comprising a first peak with a maximum M(I) in the range of from 0.5 to 15 micrometers and a second peak with a maximum M(II) in the range of from 1 to 40 micrometers, wherein (M(I)/?m):(M(II)/?m)<1:1.

Abstract: This application relates to the production of functionalized lower hydrocarbons and more particularly to the process of converting ethanol to functionalized lower hydrocarbons. In particular embodiments, the ethanol to functionalized lower hydrocarbon conversion is catalyzed by a ZnxZryAvQsMnwOz mixed oxide catalyst or a bifunctional heterogeneous catalyst. In particular embodiments, the ethanol to be converted is present at molar concentrations in the reactor feed equal to or exceeding 14%.

Abstract: A munition includes a composite case, a blast cone housed by the composite case, a grenade aft of the blast cone and housed by the composite case, a first attenuator forward of the blast cone, and a second attenuator aft of the blast cone and forward of the grenade.
