POROUS BODY PRECURSORS, SHAPED POROUS BODIES, PROCESSES FOR MAKING THEM, AND END-USE PRODUCTS BASED UPON THE SAME

摘要

The present invention provides porous body precursors and shaped porous bodies. Also included are catalysts and other end-use products based upon the shaped porous bodies and thus the porous body precursors. Finally, processes for making these are provided. The porous body precursors incorporate at least a first oxophilic high oxidation state transition metal. Because the oxophilic high oxidation state transition metal is incorporated into the porous body precursors, it is thought that it will become relatively uniformly distributed therethrough, and thus, provide property enhancements to shaped porous bodies and catalysts based thereupon.
