Abstract

1382984 Treating exhaust gas IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd 12 April 1972 [20 April 1971] 10034/71 Heading F1B A method for reducing the quantity of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons or nitrogen oxides in gases which comprises contacting the said gases under substantially non-oxidizing conditions i.e. the oxygen content of the gases is less than the equivalent of the oxidizable materials present in the gases with a fibrous catalyst comprising a synthetic refractory fibre and a catalytic agent which promotes one or more reactions by which at least one of the said components is wholly or partly destroyed. The fibrous catalyst is prepared by fibrizing an aqueous solution of alumina and/or zirconium and a water-soluble organic polymer, preferably partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetate, drying the fibre and heatingto decompose the organic polymer and the aluminium or zirconium salt to form a fibre comprising the oxides of the metals. The fibres may include additives such as:- grain growth inhibitors e.g. magnesium or calcium salts; phase change stabilizers, e.g. salts of yttrium or the rare earths, calcium oxide or zirconia; reinforcing particles e.g. colloidal silica; or compounds which improve the refractory qualities of the fibres e.g. acid oxides. The average diameter of the fibres is less than 20 microns e.g. 0À5 to 5 microns. Their thermal conductivity is less than 0À02 e.g. 0À0001 to 0À01 calories per second per degree C per centimetre cube. Their surface area is greater than 0À5 sq. m/gm. preferably 5 to 150 sq. m/gm. The catalytic agents include Group VIII metals of the Periodic Table, especially ruthenium, iridium, rhodium, nickel or cobalt, singly or in mixtures, and may be present as elementary metal in finely-divided form or as an oxide. When the fuel producing the gases contains a considerable quantity of sulphur (200 to 1,000 ppm, w/w) a first stage of the catalyst is preferably cobalt, suitably cobalt oxide. The gases contact the catalyst at a temperature of at least 400‹C, preferably 600‹C to 1000‹C. When an engine which produces the gases is being started-up, oxidizing air is initially added to the gases until the fibrous catalyst reaches its working temperature. A second stage of the catalyst comprises an oxidation stage and/or further reaction over a carbon monoxide shift or methanation catalyst. The synthetic refractory fibre is an inorganic oxide of alumina, zirconia, titania or silica. The proportion of catalytic agent in the fibrous catalyst is 0À001 to 1À0 wt. per cent in the case of ruthenium, iridium or rhodium and 1À0 to 10À0 wt. per cent in the case of nickel or cobalt. The oxidation stage is carried out using a platinum group metal in a concentration of 0À002 to 1À0% on a refractory support. Alternatively the oxidation catalyst is an oxide of one or more base metals from Group VIII of the periodic table or an oxide of chromium or tungsten. Some of the exhaust gas may be recycled to the engine inlet.
