Patent number: 8574786Abstract: Anode catalysts for conversion of hydrocarbon feeds in solid oxide fuel cell membrane reactors. An anode catalyst may be a mixture of a metal with a metal oxide, for example a mixture of copper or copper-nickel alloy or copper-cobalt alloy with Cr2O3. Mixed oxides can be prepared by dissolving into water soluble salts of the different metals, chelating the metal ions with a chelating agent, neutralizing the solution, removing water by evaporation to form a gel which then is dried, and finally heating the dried gel to form a mixed oxide of the different metals. The chelating agent can be citrate ions, and ammonia can be added to the solution until the pH of the solution is about 8. The mixed oxide so formed then is reduced, for example by hydrogen, to form a composite comprising the metal (Cu, Cu—Co, Cu—Ni) and metal oxide, here Cr2O3.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2011Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignees: The Governors of the University of Alberta, Nova Chemicals CorporationInventors: Jing-li Luo, Xian-zhu Fu, Nemanja Danilovic, Karl T.

Patent number: 6239242Abstract: There are a number of recent developments relating to co- and homo-polymers of vinyl aromatic monomers. There are syndiotactic polymers of styrene, there are pseudo random polymers of styrene and ethylene. The present invention seeks to provide novel pseudoblock polymers of styrene and ethylene in which at least 10 weight % of the vinyl aromatic monomer is incorporated in the form of one or more atactic pseudoblocks.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 1999Date of Patent: May 29, 2001Assignee: Nova Chemicals CorporationInventors: Qinyan Wang, Patrick Lam
