Deep oxidation catalysts based on SHS-produced complex intermetallics

Abstract

SHS-produced complex intermetallics were used as precursors for preparation of Ni–Fe- and Cobased catalysts for deep oxidation of carbon monoxide, propane, and hydrogen. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS, and BET method and revealed a developed nanostructured surface, which explains their high activity in the processes of deep oxidation. The catalysts under study look promising for incineration of waste and exhaust gases, safeguarding fire/explosion hazards, as well as for use in flameless heat generation, fuel cells, etc.
