Abstract: Methods and systems for producing one or more alkanes from biomass by hydrodeoxygenation are disclosed. Biomass may be converted to one or more alkanes by heating the biomass with a catalyst mixture that includes a noble metal and at least one of a transition metal and derivative thereof. The catalyst mixture may further include a solid acid. Heating may be performed at a single temperature and pressure.

Abstract: A method for preparing monolithic catalyst washcoat is disclosed and includes the following steps: preparing a coating slurry; pretreating a monolithic carrier; applying the coating slurry onto the monolithic carrier by vacuum spraying; removing the excess coating slurry by vacuum extraction; and obtaining the monolithic carrier applied with the washcoat after drying and calcination. The washcoat of 5-20 wt % can be obtained on the monolithic carrier of the present invention by one-off applying. The method can be used to prepare the washcoat on monolithic cordierite ceramic carrier, monolithic metal carrier, monolithic active carbon carrier or monolithic molecular sieve carrier. The obtained washcoat is uniform, and has good adhesion with the carrier and excellent repeatability.

Abstract: A close coupled three-way catalyst for purification of exhaust gas of motor vehicle and the preparation thereof. The support is selected from cordierite honeycomb ceramic materials having a pore volume of 0.25-0.35 ml/g. The coating layer is the mixture of hexaaluminate and perovskite-type composite oxide, cerium-zirconium solid solution, rare-earth oxide and alumina, alkali-earth oxide and zeolite having a high Si/Al ratio. The active components are palladium-rhodium, rare-earth oxide and transition metal in the hexaaluminate and perovskite-type composite oxide. The catalyst has not only the function of low-temperature catalytic oxidation of hydrocarbons, but also the function of reduction of nitrogen oxides, and can be used for purifying the exhaust gas of motor vehicles using gasoline, liquid gas, or CNG as fuel.
