  • Substantially nonporous substrate supported noble metal- and lanthanide-containing catalysts for hydrogenation reactions
    Patent number: 9162214
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate to hydrogenation catalysts, and hydrogenation processes using these catalysts, having particular characteristics, in terms of the amount and type of metal hydrogenation component (or catalytic constituent), as well as the support or substrate. The catalyst compositions, comprising both a noble metal and a lanthanide element on a substantially non-porous substrate, provide advantageous performance characteristics, including conversion, selectivity, and activity stability, as demanded in industrial hydrogenation and selective hydrogenation applications.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 19, 2014
    Date of Patent: October 20, 2015
    Assignee: UOP LLC
    Inventors: Paula L. Bogdan, Valeria J. Nemeth, Simon R. Bare
