Patent number: 6217841Abstract: The invention relates to a silicon carbide or metal carbide foam to be used as a catalyst or catalyst support for the chemical or petrochemical industry or for silencers, as well as the process for producing the same. The foam is in the form of a three-dimensional network of interconnected cages, whose edge length is between 50 and 500 micrometres, whose density is between 0.03 and 0.1 g/cm3 and whose BET surface is between 20 and 100 m2/g. The carbide foam contains no more than 0.1% by weight residual metal and the size of the carbide crystallites is between 40 and 400 Angstroms. The production process consists of starting with a carbon foam, increasing its specific surface by an activation treatment using carbon dioxide and then contacting the thus activated foam with a volatile compound of the metal, whose carbide it is wished to obtain.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 1994Date of Patent: April 17, 2001Assignee: Pechiney RechercheInventors: Bernard Grindatto, Alex Jourdan, Marie Prin

Preparation of a catalyst from metal oxides by reduction and partial carburization by reaction gases
Patent number: 5468370Abstract: A catalyst for chemical and petrochemical reactions and a process for its production. The catalyst comprises an oxide of one of the transition metals, rare earth elements, or actinide elements, e.g., molybdenum, having on its surface carbides and oxycarbides, the core being the metal or the metal oxide. In the process for catalyst production, the reaction gas mixture containing carbon products is passed onto the oxide, leading to a progressive carburization of the surface of the oxide and to a progressive increase in the efficiency of the catalyst.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 1993Date of Patent: November 21, 1995Assignee: Pechiney RechercheInventors: Marc-Jacques Ledoux, Jean-Louis Guille, Cuong Pham Huu, Hugh Dunlop, Marie Prin -
Patent number: 5449654Abstract: The invention concerns a process for preparing a silicon carbide foam consisting of attacking a polyurethane foam with an alkaline solution, impregnating it, after rinsing and drying, with a suspension of silicon powder in an organic resin, heating progressively to polymerise the resin, carbonising the polyurethane foam and resin, and finally carburising the silicon contained in the resin suspension by means of the carbon originating from the carbonisation of the foam and resin.The foams obtained are characterised by a high microporosity and a mesoporosity which is variable according to the carburising temperature.The invention finds an application in the manufacture of catalyst carriers for exhaust chambers and filters for diesel engines.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 1995Date of Patent: September 12, 1995Assignee: Pechiney RechercheInventors: Marie Prin, Gerard Baluais
