  • Method of catalyst preparation by pressure dilution
    Patent number: 11369948
    Abstract: Described is a method for the preparation of a reforming catalyst. The method comprises: (a) depositing a metal precursor on a porous support by wet impregnation, wherein the porous support is selected from the group consisting of a fumed silica, a fumed metal oxide, and combinations thereof; (b) drying the porous support after depositing the metal precursor to form a powder; (c) adding additional porous support to the powder to form a diluted powder; and (d) pressing the diluted powder to form pellets.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 4, 2018
    Date of Patent: June 28, 2022
    Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME DU LAC
    Inventors: Eduardo Wolf, Vardan Danghyan

  • Catalysts for hydrogen production
    Patent number: 7659227
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide catalysts for production of hydrogen from methanol. In an embodiment, a Cu/Zn catalyst may be promoted by Zr and/or Ce, in addition to, in embodiments, Pd or another noble metal. In an embodiment, a chemical composition may have a Cu/Zn base catalyst with a promoter element of Ce, Zr, and/or Pd or another noble metal. Methods of producing hydrogen using such catalysts are also provided.
