Abstract: A process for methanol which comprises cracking 100 moles of methanol in admixture with 1 to 99 moles of water, thereby obtaining a gas containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide, is described. The process is preferably carried out using a catalyst which consists of a carrier comprising copper and chromium oxides with or without manganese oxide and/or barium oxide and a catalytic component of nickel oxide or a mixture of nickel oxide and a basic oxide.

Abstract: A method for recovering a denitrating catalyst for ammonia catalytic reduction which is characterized by treating the denitrating catalyst for ammonia catalytic reduction, in which a performance has deteriorated, with at least one selected from the group consisting of SO.sub.4.sup.2- compounds, sulfur compounds and sulfonic acid compounds in order to replenish the catalyst with a sulfur content.

Abstract: A catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides by the use of ammonia as a reducing agent composed of a catalytically active constituent on a carrier having a honeycomb or parallel plate structure, the carrier being prepared from a slurry of crystallized calcium silicate prepared by mixing silicic acid and lime and heating the mixture under pressure, the calcium silicate having the structure of xonotrite and the formula 6 CaO.6 SiO.sub.2. H.sub.2 O.

Abstract: A catalyst for selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides by use of ammonia as a reducing agent is prepared by mixing a silicic acid material with a lime material, heating the mixture under pressure to form a slurry of calcium silicate crystals, forming the slurry into a carrier, and then allowing the carrier to carry a catalytically active ingredient.
