Abstract: A shell impregnated catalyst of Pd—Au produced on a silica support to have a Pd loading of 1.8 g/L of catalyst to about 7.2 g/L and a Au to Pd weight ratio of 0.3 to 2.0 by impregnating the support with aqueous solutions of palladium and gold salts or acids and thereafter precipitating water insoluble compounds of Pd and Au on the with alkali metal silicate or hydroxide solutions, then dried, and the surface precipitated compounds of Pd and Au are then reduced by reaction with ethylene or hydrogen at a temperature of greater than 150° C. up to 310° C. or with hydrogen up to 299° C. until substantially all of the Pd and Au contents are reduced to a free metal state, after which the support is impregnated with potassium acetate to an extent of 6 to 7 weight percent of the weight of the total catalyst.
Abstract: A fluid stream has material selected from the group consisting of radioactive matter and metals removed from it. An example material to be removed is cesium ions. A silico-titanate composition have a mole ratio of Si:Ti of 0.01:1.7 is provided in the fluid stream. The material to be removed is them permitted to bind to the silico-titanate composition. The silico-titanate composition may include a metal dopant MD present in a mole ratio of MD:Ti up to 1.0. The silico-titanate may also be a cation M present in a mole ratio of M:Ti up to 2.0.
