Templated metal oxide catalyst composition comprising silver, method for its production and use thereof

摘要

A composition comprises a templated metal oxide substrate having a plurality of pores and a catalyst material comprising silver. The composition under H 2 at 30 degrees Celsius, at a wavelength in a range of from about 350 nm to about 500 nm has a VIS-UV absorbance intensity that is at least 20 percent less than a standard silver alumina catalyst (Ag STD). The standard alumina is Norton alumina, and which has the same amount of silver by weight.
