POROUS CERAMIC CATALYSTS AND METHODS FOR THEIR PRODUCTION AND USE

摘要

A method of producing a rigid catalytically active porous ceramic is disclosed. Catalyst particles comprising a catalytically active material or a precursor thereof are mixed with a chemical additive, a ceramic binder, a carrier liquid and, optionally, substantially inert carrier particles to obtain a slurry having a gel- or paste-like consistency. The slurry may be transported to a substrate, e.g., by printing, or to a reactor cavity by a suitable flow method. The slurry is then heated to substantially evaporate said carrier liquid to obtain a rigid, catalytically active porous ceramic in situ. A catalyst obtainable by such a method and the use of such a catalyst are also disclosed.
