Supported catalyst for the oxidation of carbon monoxide

Abstract

Abstract Supported catalyst (I) for oxidn. of CO at below 100 deg.C comprises a mainly open-pore organic polymer foam support (II) and an active component (III) contg. a mixt. of Au and Fe2O3, a mixt. of Au and Co3O4, a mixt. of Au and NiO or a mixt. of these mixts. Pref. (III) is present as a coating on (II), which is pref. a polyurethane. Prodn. of (I) comprises (A) prodn. of (III) by prepg. a mixt. of a Au cpd. and a Fe (III) cpd. (or of cpds. corresp. to the above mixts.), calcining the mixt. at above 200 deg.C and grinding the prod. to below 2 mm particle size, and (B1) mixing (III) with an organic prepolymer, polymerising the mixt. as a foam and opt. reticulating any closed cells (to give a catalyst with (III) homogeneously distributed in (II)), or (B2) coating an organic polymer foam (II) with (III) to give a coated catalyst.
