Abstract: A process for the production of a carbon supported catalyst, which comprises the following steps: (a) precipitation of at least one metal oxide onto a surface of a carbon-comprising support by preparing an initial mixture, comprising the carbon-comprising support, at least one metal oxide precursor and an organic solvent, and spray-drying of the initial mixture to obtain an intermediate product, (b) loading of noble-metal-comprising particles onto the surface of the intermediate product in a liquid medium by deposition, precipitation and/or reduction of a noble-metal-comprising precursor with a reducing agent, (c) heat treatment of the catalyst precursor resulting from step (b) at a temperature higher than 400° C.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-zone furnace for heating and tempering reactors and pipes in devices. The multi-zone furnace according to the invention is modularly constructed, wherein it is e.g. possible to efficiently heat or cool the furnace or also individual zones of the furnace. Furthermore, exchangeable cassettes provide the advantage that the reactors and the components, which are connected to the reactors, are particularly well accessible, wherein reconverting work is facilitated.
