  • CATALYST, A PROCESS FOR SELECTIVE HYDROGENATION OF ACETYLENE TO ETHYLENE AND A METHOD FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF THE CATALYST
    Publication number: 20110060174
    Abstract: Provided is a catalyst including a mixture of metal A selected from Fe, Co and Ni, and metal B selected from Zn and Ga, and a support material, where the two metals are present in an intermetallic composition; A method for the manufacture of the catalyst; and the use of the catalyst for the selective hydrogenation of acetylene to ethylene in a gas mixture including acetylenic impurities and hydrogen, and one or more of ethylene and carbon monoxide. The catalyst has a high selectivity and is based an easily available metal compounds.

  • Process and catalyst for hydrogenation of carbon oxides
    Patent number: 7790776
    Abstract: A process for hydrogenation of carbon oxides comprising contacting a gas mixture containing carbon oxides and of hydrogen with a catalyst comprising bimetallic iron-nickel or iron-cobalt alloys as the active catalytic material supported on a carrier of an oxide. The carrier is preferably formed to have a surface area greater than 20 m2/g.
