US Patent:

47625376, Aug 9, 1988
Filed:

Jun 2, 1987
Appl. No.:

7/056714
Inventors:

Hubert L. Fleming - Mars PA
Kenneth P. Goodboy - Wexford PA
Emmanuel K. Saforo - Zelienople PA
Assignee:

Aluminum Company of America - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:

B01D 5304
US Classification:

55 71
Abstract:

A composite HCl adsorbent comprising about 50-95 wt % alumina and about 5-50 wt % Y zeolite wherein the molar ratio of SiO. sub. 2 to Al. sub. 2 O. sub. 3 is about 4. 5-6. The adsorbent is produced by admixing particles of alumina and acid-treated Y zeolite, agglomerating, aging and activating. The activated composite adsorbent has improved dynamic adsorption behavior for HCl compared with both the alumina and Y zeolite starting materials.

US Patent:

49238434, May 8, 1990
Filed:

Oct 14, 1988
Appl. No.:

7/257873
Inventors:

Emmanuel K. Saforo - Allison Park PA
Paul K. T. Liu - Pittsburgh PA
Robin K. Bergstrom - Natrona Heights PA
David G. Gatty - Tarentum PA
Assignee:

Aluminum Company of America - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:

B01J 2008
B01J 2020
US Classification:

502415
Abstract:

Disclosed is a novel activated carbon/alumina composite and a method of preparing the same. The method includes providing a blend containing alumina powder, peptizing agent, water and activated carbon powder and mixing the blend to peptize the alumina and form an aqueous mixture. A green body is then formed from the mixture, dried and heated to form the activated carbon/alumina composite.
