Abstract
Abstract In an advantageous process for producing powdered aluminium alloys which have a catalytic action or are capable of acting as precursors of catalysts, good results are obtained if the alloy is atomized with water and/or a gas at a temperature of 50 DEG to 500 DEG C. above its melting point and then cooled and dried.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
82 words
A process for producing powdered aluminum alloys which can be used as catalyst for alkylating aromatic compounds and/or can be treated with alkalis to form hydrogenation catalysts comprising a) atomizing a liquid aluminum alloy using an atomizer device in the presence of water or a mixture of water and a gas at a temperature of 50 to 500° C. above its melting point, b) cooling the atomized alloy, and c) removing the water present to a content of below 1% by weight.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
82 words
A process for producing powdered aluminum alloys which can be used as catalyst for alkylating aromatic compounds and/or can be treated with alkalis to form hydrogenation catalysts comprising a) atomizing a liquid aluminum alloy using an atomizer device in the presence of water or a mixture of water and a gas at a temperature of 50 to 500° C. above its melting point, b) cooling the atomized alloy, and c) removing the water present to a content of below 1% by weight.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The process of claim 1, in which the aluminum alloy contains 50 to 99% by weight of aluminum.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
54 words
The process of claim 1, in which the aluminum alloy contains one or more subgroup elements selected from the group consisting of scandium, titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, yttrium, zirconium, niobium, molybdenum, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, silver, cadmium, lanthanum, cerium, hafnium, tantalum, tungsten, rhenium, osmium, iridium, platinum, gold and the lanthanides.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
The process of claim 1, in which the atomization is carried out at a temperature of 150° to 250° C. above the melting point of the aluminum alloy.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
The process of claim 1, in which 5 to 15 l of water are used for the atomization per kg of the aluminum alloy.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
33 words
The process of claim 1, in which 0.5 to 10 m 3 of gas (measured at the pressure in the atomization device) are used for the atomization per kg of the aluminum alloy.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
15 words
The process of claim 1, in which the temperature after cooling is below 50° C.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
16 words
The process of claim 1, in which any water remaining after cooling is substantially completely removed.
