FUEL-COMBUSTION CATALYST PREPARATION METHOD (OPTIONS) Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B01J37/02 B01J37/10 B01J23/74 B01J35/04 

FIELD: catalyst preparation methods.

SUBSTANCE: method involves preparing porous carrier and forming catalyst layer by impregnation of carrier with aqueous solution of transition group metal salts followed by drying and calcination. Porous catalyst carrier is a porous substrate of organic polymer material: polyurethane or polypropylene, which is dipped into aqueous suspension of powdered metal selected from metals having magnetic susceptibility χ from 3.6·10⁶ to 150·10⁶ Gs·e/g: iron, cobalt, chromium, nickel, or alloys thereof, or vanadium and polyvinylacetate glue as binder until leaving of air from substrate is completed, after which carrier blank is dried at ambient temperature and then fired at 750°C in vacuum oven and caked at 900-1300°C. Caked blank is molded and then subjected to rolling of outside surface to produce carrier having variable-density structure with density maximum located on emitting area. Formation of catalyst layer is achieved by multiple impregnations of the carrier with aqueous solution of acetates or sulfates of transition group metals: iron, cobalt, chromium, nickel, or alloys thereof in alternative order with dryings at ambient temperature and calcinations to produced catalyst bed 50-80 μm in thickness. In another embodiment of invention, formation of catalyst layer on carrier is accomplished by placing carrier in oven followed by forcing transition group metal carbonate vapors into oven for 60-120 min while gradually raising oven temperature to 850°C until layer of catalyst is grown up to its thickness 50-80 μm.

EFFECT: improved quality of catalyst and reduced its hydrodynamic resistance.
