Catalytic solution suitable for converting combustion emissions

摘要

A catalyst solution comprising one or more compounds of a metal catalyst and an organic solvent selected from the group consisting of a glycol derivative, an alkyl pyrrolidone, and an alkoxy ethyl ether, wherein no additional chloride-containing compounds are added to the solution. The metal can be selected from the group consisting of platinum, rhenium and rhodium. The compounds can be selected from the group consisting of H2PtCl6.6H2O, Re2(CO)10, Re2O7, LiReO4 and RhCl3.4H2O. The catalytic solutions are useful in conversion of pollutants from automotive engines and the like. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the solution contains three metals: platinum, rhenium, and rhodium.
