Verfahren zur katalytischen Oxydation einer kohlenstoffhaltigen Verbindung zu Kohlendioxyd und leichteren tiefersiedenden Materialien

摘要

A process for oxidizing a charge of hydrocarbon and/or carbon monoxide comprises contacting said charge with an atmosphere containing free oxygen in the presence of a crystalline alkali or alkaline earth metal aluminosilicate catalyst having rigid three-dimensional networks and uniform effective pore diameter sufficiently large to admit the molecules of said charge, and removing therefrom a product comprising carbon dioxide. The reaction temperature is preferably in the approximate range of 200 DEG to 1500 DEG C., the molar ratio of oxygen and said charge being between 0.1 : 1 and 50 : 1. The catalyst preferably has a uniform effective pore diameter in the range of 3 to 15 Angstrom units. Examples are given. Specifications 777,232 and 777,233 also are referred to.
