  • Support structures for fixed bed flow reactors
    Patent number: 3949109
    Abstract: A catalyst support is described for use in fixed bed flow reactors. The support is a porous, self-supporting structure of multiple layers of a yarn of partially sintered glass-ceramic fibers. The structure has diamond shaped apertures in its walls to provide good fluid permeability. Preferably, it is tubular. Coated with a catalyst, the structures are especially adapted for use in the catalytic conversion of pollutants in the exhaust fumes of internal combustion engines.
