METHOD OF PRODUCING CATALYST FOR PROTIUM-DEUTERIUM ISOTOPIC EXCHANGE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B01J21/04 B01J23/50 B01J37/00 B22F9/24 B82B3/00 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to heterogeneous catalysis, particularly a method of producing a catalyst for protium-deuterium isotopic exchange. The method involves obtaining metal nanoparticles in a reverse micellar solution and subsequent deposition of the metal nanoparticles on an Al₂O₃ support; the reverse micellar solution is prepared from a solution of a salt of rhodium metal RhCl₃ or ruthenium RuOHCl₃, a surfactant, which is bis(2-ethylhexyl) sodium sulphosuccinate, and isooctane, wherein the reverse micellar solutions or rhodium or ruthenium are prepared in molar ratio of the aqueous solution of the metal salt to the surfactant ranging from 1:1 to 10:1, and a water-alcohol solution, a quercetin solution and an ammonia solution are then added to the reverse micellar solution in amount of 5-50 wt %, 0.5-5 wt % and 10-30 wt %, respectively.

EFFECT: invention enables to obtain a catalyst for protium-deuterium isotopic exchange, having catalytic activity and meant for operation in the 77-400 K temperature interval.
