  • Microwave assisted desulfurization of nitrogen oxide storage reduction catalysts
    Patent number: 7829492
    Abstract: A process for removing sulfur and sulfur compounds from a catalyst includes the following steps: exposing the catalyst to a reducing atmosphere and exposing the catalyst to microwave energy. Desorption of the sulfur and sulfur compounds from the catalyst occurs at a temperature less than 600 degrees centigrade.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 30, 2006
    Date of Patent: November 9, 2010
    Assignees: Toyota Motor Corporation, The University of Connecticut
    Inventors: Paul T Fanson, Hirohito Hirata, Masaya Ibe, Steven L Suib, Sinue Gomez, Kinga Malinger
  • Coated articles and methods of manufacture thereof
    Publication number: 20070154639
    Abstract: A method for coating articles includes contacting a substrate with a mixture comprising a coating composition and a carrier fluid effective to wet at least a portion of the substrate, and removing the carrier fluid by microwave heating for a time and at a temperature effective to produce a coating comprising the coating composition on at least a portion of substrate. The coated articles may be useful in a variety of applications including ion, molecule, and gas separation/filtration; ion-exchanging; semiconductors; catalysis; and as electrodes, among others.
