A METHANE OXIDATION CATALYST AND A METHOD OF MAKING AND USING THEREOF

Abstract A method of making an oxidation catalyst for use in removing methane from gas streams having a concentration of methane by oxidizing the methane. The method is especially useful in processing gas streams that also have a concentration of a sulfur compound. The method includes mixing multi-c...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract A method of making an oxidation catalyst for use in removing methane from gas streams having a concentration of methane by oxidizing the methane. The method is especially useful in processing gas streams that also have a concentration of a sulfur compound. The method includes mixing multi-crystalline zirconia powder, a platinum precursor compound, and a ruthenium precursor compound to form a slurry mixture; drying said slurry mixture to provide a powder; and calcining said powder under an effective calcination condition. The multi-crystalline zirconia contributes to the excellent properties of the catalyst.
