Abstract

Abstract Method for the preparation of catalysts on support materials, such as strontiumtitanate, which serve for the hydrogenation of unsaturated organic compounds such as alkenes, alkynes and aromates, which catalysts consist of rhodium-metal on support, obtained by applying rhodiumcarbonyl-clusters to a support in an inert atmosphere and then pyrolyzing them at a relatively low temperature of for instance 150°C. The material, thus applied to the support is activated by means of a reaction with oxygen, preferably between 0° and 150°C.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 71 words
Method for the preparation of catalysts on support materials which serve for the hydrogenation of unsaturated organic compounds, which catalysts consist of rhodium metal on support, obtained by applying rhodium carbonyl clusters to a support in an inert atmosphere (N₂) and then pyrolyzing them at a relatively low temperature (Tmax. 300°­C), characterized in that the material which is thus applied to the support is activated by means of reaction with oxygen.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 71 words
Method for the preparation of catalysts on support materials which serve for the hydrogenation of unsaturated organic compounds, which catalysts consist of rhodium metal on support, obtained by applying rhodium carbonyl clusters to a support in an inert atmosphere (N₂) and then pyrolyzing them at a relatively low temperature (Tmax. 300°­C), characterized in that the material which is thus applied to the support is activated by means of reaction with oxygen.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 24 words
