  • Process for forming a catalyst and the catalytic product produced by the process
    Patent number: 4515905
    Abstract: A catalyst comprising a metallic carrier having a catalytically active metal-containing surface layer, the catalytic metal being other than a noble metal, wherein the catalytically active metal-containing surface layer is formed directly on the carrier by an etching treatment with an oxidizing inorganic acid which at least partially removes one or more metals from the surface of the metallic carrier, followed by chemical reduction with hydrogen.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 4, 1983
    Date of Patent: May 7, 1985
    Assignee: N. V. Bekaert S.A.
    Inventors: Jan Uytterhoeven, Pierre Jacobs, Ludo Adriaensen, Jan Geerts
  • Catalyst and method of its preparation
    Patent number: 4514520
    Abstract: A catalyst comprising a metallic carrier having a catalytically active metal-containing surface layer, the catalytic metal being other than a noble metal, whereby the catalytically active surface layer is formed out of a homogeneous metallic carrier by oxidizing in an oxidizing gas such as air and subsequently reducing with hydrogen the surface of the metallic carrier at a temperature at which the active metal is substantially not sintered, characterized in that the carrier is a web or felt of fibers with a diameter between 4 and 100 microns.
