IRON-CHROMIUM CATALYST PREPARATION METHOD (OPTIONS) Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B01J37/03 B01J23/745 B01J23/26 

FIELD: catalyst preparation methods.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods for preparing carbon monoxide-conversion catalysts used in production of hydrogen, nitrogen-hydrogen mixture, and other hydrogen-containing gases. According to first option, active catalyst component, i.e. iron compound, is precipitated from solution with precipitation reagent, whereupon precipitate is separated from mother liquor and washed to form catalyst mass, which is molded and subjected to heat treatment, re-washed, mixed with chromic anhydride and subjected to final heat treatment: at 280-420°C after molding or at 50-200°C before molding of catalyst mass. According to second option, iron compound is first mixed with promoting additives and cations of promoting additives are precipitated jointly with iron cations, resulting precipitate is separated from mother liquor, washed and subjected to heat treatment, re-washed, mixed with chromic anhydride and subjected to final heat treatment: at 280-420°C after molding or at 50-200°C before molding of catalyst mass. As iron compound in the first and second options, ferrous and ferric sulfates and, as precipitation reagent, carbonate salts or corresponding hydroxides are utilized. Promoting additives are selected from Cu, Mn, and Al or, in the second option, their mixture.

EFFECT: reduced content of sulfur in finished catalyst at the same catalyst activity.
