An. Pestryakov et al., METAL FOAM CATALYSTS WITH SUPPORTED ACTIVE PHASE FOR DEEP OXIDATION OF HYDROCARBONS, Reaction kinetics and catalysis letters, 54(1), 1995, pp. 167-172
Catalysts based on metal foams (block porous cellular materials) with
supported active phases containing oxides of transition metals have be
en studied in the process of deep oxidation of n-butane. Foamy metal c
atalysts have high activity, gas permeability and good mechanical stre
ngth.
