Patent number: 4335023Abstract: A catalytic promoting material is supported on a monolithic support member, of the type generally referred to as a "honeycomb" support, having longitudinal fluid flow channels extending through it. The catalytically promoting material is dispersed as a coating on the walls of the fluid flow channels which are nominally polygonal, preferably nominally square, in cross section profile so that the walls forming the flow channels can be made as thin as possible consistent with an acceptable thermal and mechanical strength. However, the juncture of the channel walls forming the flow channels are filleted to provide a concave profile, preferably one having an arcuate shape in cross section, so that the corners are "filleted" or "rounded", to subtend an appreciable segment of the nominal width of the channel wall. This prevents or at least reduces the accumulation of excess catalytic material which occurs in the sharp angular corners of prior art structures.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 1980Date of Patent: June 15, 1982Assignee: Engelhard CorporationInventors: Joseph C. Dettling, John J. Mooney, Robert M. Skomoroski, Saul G. Hindin

Patent number: 4270896Abstract: A catalyst system capable of operating at very high temperatures is disclosed. The catalyst is divided into upstream and downstream portions, the upstream portion being protected against both thermal conductivity and radiant heat transfer from the downstream portion. Advantageously, the upstream portion may use a more active catalyst composition then the downstream portion.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 1978Date of Patent: June 2, 1981Assignee: Engelhard Minerals & Chemicals CorporationInventors: Leon M. Polinski, George W. Roberts, Saul G. Hindin

Patent number: 4134860Abstract: Catalysts are made which have a catalytically-active composite containing a catalytically-promoting metal component and a high surface area, refractory oxide support, deposited on a macrosize carrier. The catalytically-active composite is made by combining a solution of a water-soluble, catalytically-promoting metal component with a finely divided, high area, refractory oxide which is sufficiently dry to absorb essentially all of said solution. The catalytically-promoting metal component of the resulting composite is converted to water-insoluble form while the composite is essentially devoid of unabsorbed solution. The composite is comminuted in the presence of an aqueous medium which is preferably acidic. The resulting slurry is used to deposit the catalytically-promoting metal-containing solids on the macrosize carrier, and the resulting material is dried and may be calcined.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 1977Date of Patent: January 16, 1979Assignee: Engelhard Minerals & Chemicals CorporationInventors: Saul G. Hindin, Joseph C. Dettling

Patent number: 3993572Abstract: Catalysts suitable for promoting selected oxidation and reduction reactions; especially for eliminating or substantially reducing pollutants in waste gas streams such as automobile exhaust, or nitric acid plant tail gas, are described, as are processes for their preparation and use. The catalysts contain platinum group metal, rare earth metal and alumina components which may be supported on relatively catalytically inert carriers, for instance, honeycombs.
