CATALYST FOR DECOMPOSING PERFLUORINATED COMPOUNDS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE CATALYST - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18073293 titled 'CATALYST FOR DECOMPOSING PERFLUORINATED COMPOUNDS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE CATALYST
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a catalyst for decomposing perfluorinated compounds. The catalyst includes an alumina carrier, at least one metal (selected from a group of metals such as Zn, Ni, W, Zr, Ti, Ga, Nb, Co, Mo, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, and Cu) carried on the alumina carrier, S (sulfur) also carried on the alumina carrier, and rare-earth metals carried on the alumina carrier.
- The catalyst is designed to decompose perfluorinated compounds.
- It includes an alumina carrier, which acts as a support for the catalyst.
- The catalyst contains at least one metal selected from a group of metals such as Zn, Ni, W, Zr, Ti, Ga, Nb, Co, Mo, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, and Cu.
- Sulfur (S) is also present on the alumina carrier.
- Rare-earth metals are included in the catalyst composition.
- The combination of these components enhances the decomposition of perfluorinated compounds.
Potential Applications
- Environmental remediation: The catalyst can be used to treat contaminated soil or water by decomposing perfluorinated compounds.
- Industrial processes: The catalyst can be employed in manufacturing processes that generate perfluorinated compounds, helping to minimize their environmental impact.
Problems Solved
- Perfluorinated compounds are persistent and harmful pollutants that are difficult to degrade.
- Existing methods for decomposing perfluorinated compounds are often inefficient or require high energy inputs.
- This catalyst provides an effective and energy-efficient solution for decomposing perfluorinated compounds.
Benefits
- Efficient decomposition: The catalyst enhances the decomposition of perfluorinated compounds, leading to their complete breakdown.
- Energy savings: The catalyst operates at lower energy requirements compared to other methods, reducing overall energy consumption.
- Versatile: The catalyst can be used in various applications, including environmental remediation and industrial processes.
