High temperature sensor

An apparatus for reducing the emission of vaporized hydrocarbons in a fuel supply system. The apparatus comprises a filter for binding the hydrocarbons. A catalyst for oxidation of the hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide and water is provided downstream of the filter.

A process and apparatus for selective detection of NO in fluid media, particularly exhaust gases of internal-combustion engines. This process comprises the steps of positioning a nitrosonium-conducting solid electrolyte between two porous electrodes, acting upon one of the two electrodes with the NO-containing fluid medium, and measuring a voltage difference between the two electrodes as an indication of the NO-concentration in the NO-containing fluid medium.

A sensor for selective detection of ammonia in high-oxygen, NO.sub.x -containing gas. The sensor has a component part acting as the capacitor, and a gas-permeable sensitive layer as the dielectric, the sensitive layer being a hydrophobic, precious-metal-free zeolite of low acidity which has an ordered crystalline structure of primary-pores whose diameter is of the magnitude of the gas-kinetic diameter of NH.sub.3.

The invention provides a gas sensor for selective detection of hydrocarbons in low-oxygen gases, having a capacitive element and a gas-permeable sensitive layer as a dielectric. The sensitive layer is a precious-metal-doped zeolite which has a regular crystalline structure made of primary pores whose diameter is in the order of the gas-kinetic diameter of the gas molecules to be detected.

Use of a gas sensor for the selective detection of hydrocarbons in

The invention relates to a process for preparing a Pt/zeolite catalyst material, the material itself, and the use of the material in removing carbon monoxide from a gas. In a preferred embodiment, the invention relates to a process for preparing a Pt/zeolite catalyst material for the catalytic removal of CO in H.sub.2 -rich gas by means of selective CO oxidation and the use of such a catalyst material. The catalyst materials of the invention can be prepared by employing Pt(NH.sub.3).sub.4 Cl.sub.2.H.sub.2 O and a zeolite material. The resulting material can be used for the catalytic removal of CO from an H.sub.2 -rich outlet gas mixture from a methanol reforming reactor. The compositions and methods to produce catalytic materials result in products with high and prolonged catalyst activity. In particular, the methods and compositions of the invention can be used in removing CO from the hydrogen fed to fuel cells in electric vehicles having stored methanol fuel.

Preparation and use of Pt/zeolite catalyst materials for removing carbon

This invention relates to a reactor for the selective catalytic removal of CO in high H.sub.2 gas. A precious-metal-containing selective CO oxidation catalyst is applied to a metallic or ceramic carrier having a cross channel or other structure which causes a turbulent fluid flow within the reactor.
