- the loss on ignition of the paste is then 47.7%.
- the dough is extruded through a die with cylindrical holes 4 mm in diameter.
- a titanium dioxide catalyst is produced by preparing a paste in a Z-arm mixer from water, nitric acid, agar-agar, needle-shaped glass fibers (median diameter of 14 pm and average length of 200 pm) and anatase G2 powder from Tronox.
- the paste is obtained by mixing an aqueous solution which contains, relative to the weight of the mixture:
- the quantity of glass fibers is targeted to obtain 5% by weight of glass fibers relative to the weight of the final product.
- the loss on ignition of the paste is then 48.2%.
- the paste is extruded through a die with cylindrical holes 4 mm in diameter.
- the extrudates are then dried for two hours in an oven at 140°C and then calcined for 2 hours at a temperature of 450°C in humid air containing 40 g of water per kg of dry air.
- the catalysts of the invention therefore have open porosities (in particular total pore volume VPT) measured by mercury intrusion significantly higher than conventional catalyst A while maintaining sufficient mechanical resistance with an EGG > 1 daN/mm and a rate of breakage generated after an impact of less than 15% by volume.
- the present example illustrates the application of the catalysts of the invention for the hydrolysis conversion of CS2 under the conditions simulating the first converter of the Claus process. This reaction is considered as a model for evaluating the performance of a catalyst under these conditions, because the reaction rate is much lower than the hydrolysis of COS:
- the reactor contains 30 g of the catalysts according to the invention.
- the total gas flow rate is adjusted to reach WHs of 4000 and 6000 h 1 relative to the volume of catalyst in the reactor.
- the WHs of the present example are deliberately chosen to be much higher than the WHs of the industrial Claus processes in order to discriminate the activity of the catalysts for converting CS 2 .
- the catalysts of the invention thanks to a much higher open porosity, can achieve conversions into CS2 under the conditions simulating the first converter of the Claus process much higher than those observed on conventional catalysts such as that of comparative example A.
