  • the channels running through a so-called monolithic carrier can have an ordered or disordered channel structure, furthermore the essentially parallel channels can also be interconnected (so-called open channel structures)

  • the geometric shape is not limited to a single shape as long as there are 2 face planes substantially parallel to each other, but typically cylindrical shapes are preferred.
  • the preparation of a catalyst as described above is generally carried out by the application of a so-called washcoat (WC) on the channel walls (coating) or on the pore walls, followed by drying followed by calcination at higher temperatures to solidify and finalize the washcoat finish. Thereafter, the catalytically active components are applied to the washcoat by impregnation steps, usually from the aqueous solutions of their precursors.

  • complex-structured honeycomb or porous shaped bodies are meant honeycombs whose channels have elevations or depressions or blades and thus turbulences are specifically generated in the gas stream, which also lead to a better mass transfer and thus higher activities.
  • Open structures are also part of this type of support; In the case of open structures, as already described above, the channels are connected to one another by corresponding perforations (holes, pores). As a result, in addition to a vertical direction of flow (parallel to the channel axis), a more or less horizontal (radially to the axis of the honeycomb or channels) gas flow is possible. Also porous metal foams are among the complex structures due to the irregular arrangement of the pores. With complex structures, it is possible to produce catalysts which simultaneously have a mixing effect. Furthermore, of course, combinations of purely plane-parallel and complex structured honeycomb are conceivable.

  • FIG. 1 shows a partial view of two parallel channels of a honeycomb which are connected to one another via a perforation (open structure). While the channel shown on the right already has been freed of excess washcoat by the blow-off air (the flow direction of the air is illustrated by the arrows), this is no longer possible in the channel shown on the left for the reason described, so that it is no longer blow-out alone remains to be removed and held by the capillary force remains washcoat in the lower part of the channel.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé pour remplir d'une phase liquide un corps moulé présentant une pluralité de cavités internes, reliées au moins partiellement les unes aux autres, ou pour éliminer l'excédent d'une phase liquide utilisée pour enduire un corps moulé présentant des cavités internes. L'invention se caractérise en ce que le remplissage des cavités internes ou l'élimination de l'excédent de ces dernières est effectué(e) par un processus d'accélération et un processus de freinage suivant, la décélération se produisant plus rapidement que l'accélération produite préalablement, dans la mesure où les forces d'inertie, induites par la décélération et agissant sur la phase liquide en excédent, sont supérieures à la somme des autres forces opposées agissant également sur la phase liquide.
