HIGH ACTIVITY EARLY TRANSITION METAL CARBIDE- AND NITRIDE-BASED CATALYSTS

摘要

A catalyst composition contains an active metal on a support including a high surface area substrate and an interstitial compound, for example molybdenum carbide. Pt-Mo2C/Al2O3 catalysts are described. The catalyst systems and compositions are useful for carrying out reactions generally related to the water gas shift reaction (WGS) and to the Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) process.
