METHOD FOR PREPARING METALLIC CARRIER OF CATALYST (VARIANTS) AND METALLIC CARRIER Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC C25F3/06 B01J32/00 

FIELD: heterogeneous catalysis, catalytic micro-reactors, possibly manufacture of carriers of stainless steel with developed porous structure of surface designed for securing catalyst.

SUBSTANCE: method comprises steps of anode electrochemical etching of stainless steel in solution of iron chloride with concentration no more than 200g/l at electric current density 21 - 50 A/dm². Method according to second variant of invention comprises steps of anode electrochemical etching of stainless steel in solution of sodium chloride with concentration no more than 200g/l at electric current density 11 - 25 A/dm² while adding sulfuric acid to sodium chloride solution. Metallic carrier of stainless steel for catalyst includes on its surfaces drop-shaped etched depressions. Upper edge of depression has round shape with diameter 0.05 - 0.4 mm; mean volume of depressions is 4 x 10^-4 cm³; surface density of depressions is in range 250 - 350 depressions per cm².

EFFECT: improved surface structure of catalyst carrier.
