A substrate steel of the comprising from 0.01 to 0.60 wt. % of La, from 0.0 to 0.65 wt. % of Ce; from 0.06 to 1.8 wt. % of Nb up to 2.5 wt. % of one or more trace elements and carbon and silicon may be treated in an oxidizing atmosphere to product a coke resistant surface coating of MnCrOhaving a thickness up to 5 microns.

Protective surface on stainless steel

Single site reactor/catalyst continuity in a dispersed phase reaction in terms of initial activation and subsequent deactivation may be improved by treating the support with a metal salt. The activator and catalyst are then deposited on the treated support. The resulting catalyst has a lower consumption of ethylene during initiation and a lower rate of deactivation. Preferably the catalyst is used with an antistatic agent.
