Abstract
Abstract The use of a catalyst comprising a noble metal, a rare earth metal and a metallic support with the noble and rare earth metal being electroplated on the metallic support. A preferred composition is lanthanum, platinum and palladium on a nickel chromium alloy support. The catalyst has utility in the oxidation of fumes comprising industrial waste gases and in the oxidation of components of automotive exhaust gases.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
77 words
A process for the catalytic oxidation of hydrocarbons or organic molecules having hydrocarbon groups present in noxious fumes which comprises contacting said fumes at oxidation conditions comprising a temperature of from about 500° F. to about 1000° F. with oxygen and a catalyst composition consisting essentially of a platinum group noble metal, a rare earth metal and a metallic support, said platinum group noble metal and said rare earth metal having been electroplated on said metallic support.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
77 words
A process for the catalytic oxidation of hydrocarbons or organic molecules having hydrocarbon groups present in noxious fumes which comprises contacting said fumes at oxidation conditions comprising a temperature of from about 500° F. to about 1000° F. with oxygen and a catalyst composition consisting essentially of a platinum group noble metal, a rare earth metal and a metallic support, said platinum group noble metal and said rare earth metal having been electroplated on said metallic support.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said noble metal comprises platinum or palladium, said rare earth metal comprises lanthanum or cerium and said metallic support comprises a metal or metal alloy from the group chromium, iron, nickel, cobalt or aluminum.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The process of claim 2 wherein said rare earth metal comprises lanthanum and said metallic support comprises a nickel chromium alloy.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
The process of claim 3 wherein said noble metal and said rare earth metal are simultaneously electroplated on said metallic support.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
52 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said noble metal is present in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 1.0 weight percent, said rare earth is present in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 1.0 weight percent and the remainder of said composition consists essentially of said metallic support.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
The process of claim 1 wherein conditioning of said composition is effected by contacting said composition at conditioning conditions with a mixture of hydrocarbon combustion gases and hydrocarbon vapors.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
27 words
The process of claim 6 wherein said conditioning conditions comprise a temperature from about 900° F. to about 1000° F. and said hydrocarbon vapors comprise heptane vapors.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
33 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said metallic support comprises a wire or ribbon and said composition is maintained in the form of a gas permeable mat useful as an oxidation catalyst element.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
83 words
A process for the catalytic oxidation of noxious fumes from the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine containing unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide which comprises contacting said fumes at oxidation conditions comprising a temperature of from about 400° F. to about 1700° F. with oxygen and a catalyst composition consisting essentially of a platinum group noble metal, a rare earth metal and a metallic support, said platinum group noble metal and said rare earth metal having been electroplated on said metallic support.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
83 words
A process for the catalytic oxidation of noxious fumes from the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine containing unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide which comprises contacting said fumes at oxidation conditions comprising a temperature of from about 400° F. to about 1700° F. with oxygen and a catalyst composition consisting essentially of a platinum group noble metal, a rare earth metal and a metallic support, said platinum group noble metal and said rare earth metal having been electroplated on said metallic support.
