SILICON CARBIDE-CONTAINING CATALYST SUPPORT MATERIALS, CATALYSTS COMPRISING SUCH SUPPORT MATERIALS AND REACTION METHODS USING SAID CATALYSTS

摘要

A catalyst having a core comprising a composite of SiC grains and a protective matrix of one or more metal oxides in voids between the SiC grains, said core having a density ≥60% of theoretical density, and a catalytically active layer adhered to the core. A catalyst support comprising a composite of SiC grains and a protective matrix of one or more metal oxides in voids between the SiC grains is also provided, along with a method of fabricating a catalyst core.
