METHOD OF PREPARING MONO- AND BIMETALLIC CATALYST AND PROCESSES INVOLVING OXYGEN AND/OR HYDROGEN Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC B01J21/18 B01J23/38 B01J37/02 

FIELD: reduction-oxidation catalysts.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to mono- and bimetallic palladium and platinum catalysts if carbon carriers that can be used in processes involving oxygen and/or hydrogen. A method for preparing catalyst is described comprising pretreatment of carbon carrier in 3-15 M nitric acid at temperature not exceeding 80°C, impregnation of resulting carrier by nitric acid solutions of chloride-free compounds of palladium and/or platinum or palladium and at least one group I metal, drying at temperature up to 105°C, decomposition at 150-350°C, and reduction in hydrogen flow at 110-350°C. Specified preparation conditions allow one to obtain fine particles of platinum group metals 1-10 nm in size localized in pores 2-20 nm in size, concentrations of deposited palladium and/or platinum being 3 to 50 wt % or palladium and/or platinum and silver 0.1 to 1.4 wt %. Catalyst is suitable for use in processes of oxidation of alcohols into aldehydes and carboxylic acids; hydrogenation of olefin, acetylene, and diene bonds in aliphatic and carbocyclic compounds; hydrogenation of nitro compounds into amines or intermediate compounds; disproportionation of abietic and other resin acids contained in colophony and similar natural- or artificial-origin mixtures.

EFFECT: augmented assortment of redox catalysts and optimized methods of preparation thereof.
