Preparation and use of high surface area transition metal catalysts

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6437847
Highly active catalysts, suitable for use in hydrogenation and other reactions, are prepared from an alloy of one or more of the group VIII transition metals with yttrium or a rare earth metal. The alloy is ground to the desired particle size and is thereafter reacted with a gas containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen to form an intimate physical admixture of the group viii metal or its corresponding carbide with the oxide of yttrium or the rare earth metal.
