Abstract
Abstract A process for coating a refractory oxide which involves impregnating a refractory oxide support with a solution of a salt of ruthenium or rhodium alone or in combination with a salt of at least one of platinum, palladium, osmium or iridium while maintaining a highly acid solution having a pH, for example, of about 0.7 to about 2.2 and then contacting the impregnated refractory oxide with H2S to precipitate the metal sulfide on the refractory support and the product resulting therefrom.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
A PROCESS FOR COATING A REFRACTORY OXIDE HAVING A SURFACE AREA OF ABOUT 10M2 TO ABOUT 500M2 PER GRAN WITH AT LEAST ONE METAL SELECTED FROM (1) RUTHENIUM ALONE, (2) RHODIUM ALONE, (3) RUTHENIUM AND RHODIUM ALONE AND (4) RUTHENIUM AND/OR RHODIUM IN COMBINATION WITH AT LEAST ONE OF PLATINUM, PALLADIUM, OSMIUM OR IRIDIUM WHICH COMPRISES IMPREGNATING SAID REFRACTORY OXIDE WITH A SOLUTION CONTAINING A SALT OF AT LEAST ONE OF SAID METALS WHILE MAINTAINING THE PH BETWEEN ABOUT 0.7 TO ABOUT 2.2 TO OBTAIN PENETRATION OF SAID SOLUTION INTO THE BULK OF SAID REFRACTORY OXIDE THEREBY SUBSTANTIALLY FORMING A UNIFORM COATING OF THE OUTER AND THE INTERIOR SURFACES OF SAID REFRACTORY OXIDE, THEREAFTER CONTACTING SAID TREATED REFRACTORY OXIDE WITH H2S AT A TEMPERATURE OF ABOUT 15* TO ABOUT 95*C.
