Provided are catalyst composites useful for the production of vinyl acetate monomer, as well as methods of making using same. The catalyst composites may comprise a support comprising silica and about 1 to about 3 wt-% alumina, wherein the support has a surface area of about 175 to about 300 m/g; and an eggshell layer on the support comprising Pd and Au.

Method and catalyst composite for production of vinyl acetate monomer

Sorbents for removal of mercury and other pollutants from gas streams, such as a flue gas stream from coal-fired utility plants, and methods for their manufacture and use are disclosed. The methods include mixing sorbent substrate particles with a sulfide salt and a metal salt to form a metal sulfide on the outer surface of the sorbent particles.

Pollutant emission control sorbents and methods of manufacture

Methods of manufacturing bentonite sorbents for removal of pollutants including mercury from gas streams, such as a flue gas stream from coal-fired utility plants are disclosed. The methods include mixing bentonite sorbent particles with a sulfide salt and a metal salt to form a metal sulfide on the outer surface of the bentonite sorbent particles.

Provided is a process for preparing a non-pyrophoric catalyst having about 2 to 20 wt. % of a copper component, wherein at least 50 wt. % of the copper component is in the form of a copper oxide, aluminum oxide-spinel. The catalyst can be prepared by forming a mixture of a copper precursor and an alumina precursor, coextruding the mixture, drying the coextrudate and calcining the dried coextrudate at a temperature of at least 600&#xb0; C. In other aspects, the invention also relates to processes for the activation of copper-based catalysts and for the regeneration of deactivated copper-based catalysts.
