Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a catalyst comprising 0.1-10 mol % Co 3-x M x O 4 , where M is Fe or Al and x=0-2, on a cerium oxide support for decomposition of N 2 O in gases containing NO. The catalyst may also contain 0.01-2 weight % ZrO 2 . The invention further comprises a method for performing a process comprising formation of N 2 O. The N 2 O containing gas is brought in contact with a catalyst comprising 0.1-10 mol % Co 3-x M x O 4 , where M is Fe or Al and x=0-2, on a cerium oxide support, at 250-1000° C. The method may comprise that ammonia is oxidized in presence of an oxidation catalyst and that the thereby formed gas mixture is brought in contact with the catalyst comprising the cobalt component on cerium oxide support at a temperature of 500-1000° C.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A catalyst for the decomposition of N 2 O at temperatures of 250-1000° C., wherein the catalyst comprises 0.1-10 mol % Co 3-x Al x O 4 , where 0.25≦x<2, on a cerium oxide support, wherein the catalyst decomposes N 2 O, and wherein the catalyst has a high selectivity for decomposing N 2 O without significant destruction of NO. 2. The catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the catalyst contains 1-5 mol % of Co 3-x Al x O 4 .…
