An ammonia decomposition catalyst for treating an ammonia exhaust gas containing moisture, the catalyst comprising: a lower layer having a noble metal, an inorganic oxide, phosphorus, and a first proton type zeolite or a first ion exchange type zeolite ion-exchanged with Cu, Co or Fe ions; and an upper layer provided on the lower layer and having a second proton type zeolite or a second ion exchange type zeolite ion-exchanged with Cu, Co or Fe ions.

Abstract: A catalyst composition of excellent silicon-resistant performance, and a catalyst containing the catalyst composition are provided. The catalyst composition is one for purifying an exhaust gas containing an organic compound, the catalyst composition comprising at least one inorganic oxide (component 1) selected from the group consisting of alumina, zirconia, titania, silica, ceria, and ceria-zirconia, each having a noble metal supported thereon; ? zeolite (component 2) having supported thereon at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Fe, Cu, Co and Ni; and a Pt—Fe composite oxide (component 3).

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a novel salty taste-enhancing agent and production method therefor, and salty taste-enhancing method for a food and beverage. As means for achieving such object, provided is a salty taste-enhancing agent.

Abstract: A purification catalyst which prevents contamination within a reflow furnace, including flux components, while suppressing the generation of CO is provided. A purification catalyst for a reflow furnace gas, having one or two of zeolite and silica-alumina as an active ingredient.

Abstract: The present invention provides a catalyst composition which can decompose an organic nitrogen compound at a relatively low temperature to convert the compound to N2 and render it harmless in the purification of an exhaust gas containing the compound (nitrogen-based exhaust gas); a catalyst containing the catalyst composition; a method for producing the catalyst; and an exhaust gas purification apparatus containing the catalyst. By using a catalyst composition formed by mixing copper oxide particles and zeolite particles, an organic nitrogen compound and/or ammonia can be converted to N2 highly selectively. The catalyst composition of the present invention may further contain a manganese oxide and/or a precious metal.

Abstract: A recombination apparatus is provided to an off-gas system of a boiling water nuclear plant. An off-gas system pipe connected to a condenser is connected to the recombination apparatus. A catalyst layer filled with a catalyst for recombining hydrogen and oxygen is disposed in the recombination apparatus. The recombination catalyst has a percentage of the number of Pt particles whose diameters are in a range from more than 1 nm to not more than 3 nm to the numbers of Pt particles whose diameters are in a range from more than 0 nm to not more than 20 nm, falling within a range from 20 to 100%. The condenser discharges gas containing an organosilicon compound (ex. D5), hydrogen, and oxygen, which is introduced to the recombination apparatus. Use of the above recombination catalyst can improve the performance of recombining hydrogen and oxygen more than conventional catalysts and the initial performance of the catalyst can be maintained for a longer period of time.

Abstract: The challenge for the present invention is to provide a catalyst composition restrained from declining in performance over time in purifying an exhaust gas containing an organic compound a silicon compound, a catalyst containing the catalyst composition, and a method for producing the catalyst. This challenge is solved by using a catalyst composition containing zeolite added to precious metal-carried alumina, and the silicon resistance of the catalyst is improved greatly. The amount of acid of the zeolite added is preferably in the range of 0.4 mmol·NH3/g to 1.5 mmol·NH3/g.
