A glass laminate structure comprising an external glass sheet and an internal glass sheet wherein one or both of the glass sheets comprises SiO+BO+AlO&#x2265;86.5 mol. %. and RO&#x2014;RO&#x2014;AlO&#x3c;about 5 mol. %. Exemplary glass sheet can comprise between about 69-80 mol. % SiO, between about 6-12 mol. % AlO, between about 2-10 mol. % BO, between about 0-5 mol. % ZrO, LiO, MgO, ZnO and PO, between about 6-15 mol. % NaO, between about 0-3 mol. % KO and CaO, and between about 0-2 mol. % SnOto provide a mechanically robust and environmentally durable structure.

Strengthened glass and compositions therefor

Extruded metal honeycombs are produced by the direct extrusion of a softened bulk metal feedstock through a honey-comb extrusion die comprising a feedhole array for delivering softened metal through a supporting die baseplate to a honeycomb die discharge section, the discharge section comprising an array of intersecting discharge slots that form the walls of an extruded metal honeycomb structure. This process can be optimized by employing a proper pressure gradient for a particular extrudate flow rate, extrudate composition, and wall-drag condition arising from the particular composition of the feedhole wall, as illustrated graphically in FIG.

Metal honeycomb substrates for chemical and thermal applications

Ceramic structures such as catalyst supports or combustion exhaust filters that incorporate combinations of high temperature phase change materials, and methods for determining the thermal history of such ceramic structures, by disposing the phase change materials on or within the structures and subsequently detecting the presence or absence of phase changes in the materials after exposure to high temperatures.

A method of blocking partial cells at the periphery of diesel filters is disclosed. The method comprises plugging the partial cells with a suitable plugging material. In one embodiment, a line of plugging material is applied to either or both of the end faces of the diesel filter along an outermost row of partial cells to block same. In another embodiment, the outermost wall the diesel filter is first beveled to form a beveled edge and uniquely off-set the partial cells. Then the beveled edge has applied thereto a plugging material, such as a line or bead. A honeycomb structure having reduced number of unplugged partial cells at the periphery is also disclosed.

Bulk and supported catalysts are prepared from an aqueous slurry containing a catalytically active material and a binder. The slurry is either coated onto a support and dried to form a porous, high surface area phase containing the catalytically active material, or reduced to a paste-like consistency, molded and dried to form a bulk catalyst. The processes and catalysts may be employed in various catalytic chemical processes to achieve high effectiveness factor of the catalytically active material while achieving a lower pressure drop.

Metal oxide catalysts

An improved catalyst system that includes a metal support structure and an anti-corrosive layer on the metal support structure, and has improved resistance to corrosion and other degradation under corrosive environments. Typically, a catalyst supporting layer is applied over the anti-corrosive layer.

Structured zeolite coated structures comprising thick porous inorganic zeolite coatings disposed on monolithic support structures, which can be honeycomb shaped, are disclosed. The zeolite coatings have open interconnected pores of controlled pore size and are characterized by improved durability, physical integrity, and adherence sufficient to enable use as supports for catalysts in liquid phase applications under harsh reaction conditions. Methods for making zeolite coated structures are also disclosed.

Monolithic zeolite coated structures and a method of manufacture

Monolithic metallic catalyst substrates offering improved heat conductivity are provided from metal powder extrusion batches of copper, tin, zinc, aluminum, iron, silver, nickel, and mixtures and alloys thereof by extrusion through a honeycomb extrusion die followed by drying and firing in a two stage firing process to oxidize organic extrusion batch components, remove residual oxides from the porous wall structure, and consolidate the metal powders to strong, integral honeycomb support structures.

Thermally conductive honeycombs for chemical reactors

A method is disclosed for maintaining a volumetric gas to liquid ratio in a segmented gas/liquid flow along a reactor of monolithic catalyst beds in series. The present invention includes the steps of: initiating the segmented gas/liquid flow at a first end of the reactor by introducing feed liquid and feed gas both at a predetermined volume and a predetermined flow rate; injecting an additional amount of gas at least once into any of the spaces between catalyst beds; and combining the segments of the segmented gas/liquid flow at a second end of the reactor. The injection of gas is controlled such that the segmented gas/liquid flow can be maintained near or at the Taylor regime.
