  • Metal foil supported catalyst
    Patent number: 5145822
    Abstract: A supported catalyst having a support body which is formed by one or more metal foils and which is well suited for catalytically decomposing ozone and for catalytically oxidizing carbon monoxide. Preferred embodiments further include a heat exchanger which permits the supported catalyst to be used as a catalytic heat exchanger, in particularly for treating fresh air for passenger compartments of vehicles.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 8, 1992
    Assignee: Solvay Catalysts GmbH
    Inventors: Holger Falke, Guenther Strauss
  • Supported catalyst for oxidizing carbon monoxide
    Patent number: 5112787
    Abstract: Supported catalysts for oxidizing carbon monoxide at temperatures below about 50.degree. C. are described which comprise an open-celled, foamed, organic polymer support and a catalytically active component applied to the support, wherein the catalytically active mixture is a mixture of gold and iron oxide, cobalt oxide or nickel oxide or a mixture of these mixtures.

  • Carrier catalysts for oxidizing carbon monoxide and process for their production
    Patent number: 5068217
    Abstract: Carrier catalysts for oxidizing carbon monoxide at temperatures below about 50.degree. C. produced by applying a gold compound to a porous ceramic comprising Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3 and calcining the resulting gold-containing carrier at a temperature of at least 200.degree. C., the process of producing such catalysts, and the use of such catalysts to oxidize carbon monoxide are described.
